Answer to Question 1
Cohabitation refers to members of a relationship opting to live together without being married. The relationship will be committed, intimate, and sexual, and is qualitatively different than being roommates.. Couples cohabit for several reasons, most often in connection with testing their relationship in the context of potential marriage but also for convenience and as an alternative to marriage.
Cohabitation is becoming an increasingly popular lifestyle choice in the United States, as well as in Canada, Europe, and Australia. Most marriages in the U.S. begin as cohabiting relationships, and most young adults have cohabited or will cohabit at some time in their lives. Ethnic groups do not differ significantly in cohabitation rates.
In most European, South American, and Caribbean countries, cohabitation is seen as an acceptable alternative to marriage, and it is seen as part of the culture in Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
While many believe that cohabitation is a form of practice marriage that will make an eventual marriage more successful, research has not supported this notion. In fact, in some studies cohabitation before marriage was associated with less favorable marital outcomes.
