Deep dives

Impact of Cohabitation on Relationships

Cohabiting before marriage increases the likelihood of relationship failure. This phenomenon occurs because living together can create a mindset where individuals view their partner as a temporary option rather than a lifelong commitment. The implication is that the approach to relationships is more like a trial period rather than a serious commitment, leading to a lack of desperation needed for a strong bond. Ultimately, clear commitments are essential to foster lasting relationships.
