Kim Ludovissie( edison) Living Together
According to National Center for Health Statistics a Nation Survey of Family Growth a sample of almost 13,000 men and women showed that couples who live together before marriage and those who don;t both have about the same chance of a successful union. This information was announced Tuesday March 2nsd 2010. The resultsd surprised researchers.
Past reseach, using decades of old data had found signifcant higher divorce rate for ” not married but living together of the oppiste sex.” But now, in our day and age with 2/3 of couples who marry live together first. A different picture is emerging.
Socioloist Pamela Smock of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor consider the data definitive. ” on the basis of these numbers, thier is no negative effect pf cohabitation on marriages.” Another comment was made by Paul Anato a sociologist at Pennsylvania State University, ” Maybe the effect of permarital cohabitation is becoming less of a problem than in the past.”
The report also take a closer look at different contributing factors such as, ethnicity,education level, up bringing and whether couples were engaged when they moved in. The odds that men and women will made 10 years of fmarriage is the same for who live together or don’t. 71% for engaged men and 69% eengaged non-cohabiting men. Amoung women the probability of making 10 years was similar (65%) to (66%) fr those who didn’t cohabit.
There us a lot of inteesting work being done on difference amoung different groups of cohabitors as why, when, and how they cohabit……stay tunned.

I think people today like to feel like they know each other before marriage. Long ago couples did not divorce and people generally just staied together if they were unhappy. Now people feel they deserve to be happy and want to make sure its a good fit. I don’t think I will move in with someone before marriage but I guess you never know until the situation arises. I am just encouraged by the fact that people can make it to 10 years these days!
