Cohabitation

Well, my topic this week is going to be on cohabiting. This is a big problem in the world at this time. 80% of Americans are cohabiting and in other parts of the world it is even more than that. I think this is one of the big problems people are facing in this day and time. People think that it is ok to do this and my even think that this will prepare them for marriage. The truth is that it will not. When you get married you tend to learn how to share things such as finances, money, bills, payments, and the little things. When you cohabit you are not learning how to share, you are just living with the opposite sex. They do not share things in which married couples would, they do not give complete commitment and they do not last nearly as long. I think the (RAM) Relationship Attachment Model is a great think to know about. We talked about this in class you can feel free to look this up for more info, but it just shows how much of what is expected. The 5 points of RAM are; know, trust, rely, commit, and touch. I just believe that marriage is a much better rout than cohabiting. If you have any questions, feel free to comment.
