Text 2. Cohabitation.
There were 2.8 million households consisting of unmarried couples in. Today college students are somewhat less likely to cohabit than are working young adults and poorer couples. Cohabitation has become common at all socioeconomic levels.
One reason for the increase in cohabitation is cultural. The norms governing sexual relationships have changed. In the not-so-distant past, couples who were living together usually hid the fact from their families and told their landlord and neighbours that they were married. However, the moral imperative to marry and the idea that marriage is a prerequisite for sexual relations or even parenthood have faded.
Another reason for the increase in cohabitation is structural, pertaining high divorce rate. With so many marriages failing, couples consider it sensible to try living together before making a formal commitment. Eight out of ten young people who say they expect to cohabit give this as their primary reason. In 90 percent of cohabitating couples, at least one partner expects to get married. Thus, people who cohabit typically view their relationship as part of the courtship process rather than as a long-term alternative to marriage. About 50 percent do get married; about 40 percent break up; and only about 10 percent stay together without ever getting married.
Couples who lived together before marriage are actually less likely to stay married than other couples are. Research offers evidence that the reason is that cohabiters are less likely than other couples to hold conventional family values and more likely to feel uncertain about the institution of marriage or about their relationship.
