Cohabitation is something that is really common with my age group. Before reading section on cohabitation I always though it was a positive thing. I was surprised that more than half of the United States cohabitates because I always think of the U.S. as being extremely religious. My perspective changed on that as well. I was also surprised to read that in five to seven years, many cohabitating couples marry, one-sixth are still cohabitating, and only one-third break up. Marriages also are not as successful if couples cohabitated. Cohabitants are usually poorer, younger, and more likely to end their relationships. I always thought that if you test drove the car before you bought it you would be happier. Or in other words if you lived with someone before you moved in with them your relationship would be more successful. Now that I have this information I’m going to re-think cohabitation in my next relationship.
