We live in a society that basks in and glorifies non-commitment.
No one (now that's an exageration I know) wants to say, "I am in this for the long haul).
One example are those who "live together."
We've all heard the argument that living together before marriage gives couples a chance to test the relationship and their compatibilities. Theoretically, it should cut down on the divorce rate a bit, shouldn't it?
Turns out it doesn't.
University of Denver researchers found that couples who live together before they are engaged have a higher chance of getting divorced than those who wait until they are married to live together. In addition, couples who lived together before engagement and then married, reported a lower satisfaction in their marriages.
Maybe the old-fashioned way really is the best way.
Just a thought for a Thursday
