Why more unmarried couples are living together, and what it could mean for society's future, by ElyakimKislev
are contributing to the number of couples choosing to cohabitate for significant periods of time before getting married, or indeed cohabitate indefinitely without getting married at allOnce frowned upon, the option of living with a partner and establishing a partnership without being married is becoming more universally acceptable. In some cases, cohabitation is as common or more common than marriage.
Care should be taken, however, in estimating the significance of cohabitation trends and opinions on relationship patterns. In some contexts, cohabitation has become closer to marriage both socially and legally, with common marriage law providing similar rights to formal marriage commitments in the U.S., Australia, and Europe.
In any case, cohabitation is rising globally. In the U.K., for an obvious example, the overall number of families rose by 8 percent between 2008 and 2018, according to data from the Office for National Statistics . Yet, the number of cohabitating couple families grew faster than married-couple families, up 25.8 percent over the decade.
