Research tell us that living together before marriage increases the probability of a couple getting divorced by 50%. Yea, you read that correctly... you are MORE likely to get divorced if you live with you partner before you get married. So, does that mean you shouldn't do it? Kat isn't quite convinced that that should be the main takeaway from this information...

This week, Kat dives into cohabitation before marriage... Should couples do it? And wait- what if someone doesn't want to get married ever- are they allowed to live with their partners?

Apparently millennials are getting married later in life and realizing that life isn't just about creating the nuclear family we grew up watching on tv. . . so how is this effecting divorce rates? You'll hear about this PLUS Kat and her fiancé, Patrick Van Buren, talk about how their views on living with a partner before marriage have shifted throughout both their lives.
