Cohabitation Before Marriage

Cohabitation before marriage seems to be the new "trend" among this generation, and I'm afraid that it will be even more popular in uprising generations. People seem to think that living together before marriage is a good idea because it will help them to understand how it will be like to live with their partner before actually settling down. They are afraid of making the commitment to "tie the knot". In some ways, yes, you will get to see how you live with your companion before you marry them. However, studies show that cohabitation before marriage actually raises your percentage and chance of divorce after marriage. There are many factors that can lead to divorce among many married couples. Not always, but more often than not, one of the causes leading to a couples divorce is simply, cohabitation.

How can we ensure a happier marriage? Well, if a man asks a woman to live with him, say no. One of the main points of marriage is to experience new things. If you live with someone before you marry them, then once you actually do or "if" you get married...what changes? What's the point of even marrying someone...I mean you already live with the person, so why even make the commitment?

If you are seeking for a happy and successful marriage, do not live with the other person before marrying them. It's as simple as that. Don't forget that we can all  "for the most part" pick our futures, we can decide who we want to spend forever with. Don't spoil the future by risking your marriage just to live with someone before getting hitched.

My Family

My family is extremely important to me because they help me every step of the way in my journey through life. I would do anything for them, just as they would for me. I wouldn't be where I am in my life without my loving and supporting family. They are the people who make me smile and make me feel like I belong. Without them I wouldn't be who I am today.
