(a) Your college roommate or close friend is seriously considering cohabiting with her/his partner and has come to you for advice. What major issues would you discuss with her/him?? Discuss the current demographic trends and characteristics of cohabitation as well as the advantages and disadvantages of cohabitation as discussed in assigned reading.
Some of the current demographic trends on page 228, chapter 7 of cohabitation have increased over the years with not only the opposite sex but the same sex as well. In 2000 some statistics was nine unmarried couples. Also for most people mainly among younger adults, cohabitation it has become a longer process of courtship. This has affected the attitudes of high school seniors.
I would tell my roommate that it is a great idea for him/ her to move in with her partner. I think you never know the real person until you have lived with them for an extended amount of time. I mean you may find things that you do or do not like about that person. You may also have to get used to each others routines. Everyone has different ways of doing things and this could help get organized together.
About Me
- Sharron Anderson
- I am currently divorced.My ex decided that he never really loved me after he got me pregnant and I got out of the military and moved to southern California for him. But currently I am loving life spending as much time with my daughter. I am going to school with what I love and getting a lot of help not only from my family but his as well. It is too bad for him that he really does not know his daughter, or has only been with her for maybe 2 months of her life, and she is 2 years old know. His excuse is the military but we all know he has leave and if he really wanted to be a dad he would take time off for her birthday or even Christmas to see her reaction opening a present.

I agree. I think you should live with someone prior to marrying them. It is like a trial run or test drive of what type of marriage you would have. Seeing how someone lives on a day to day basis is much different than an occasional overnight visit.
I do agree that it helps to live with someone before you marry them, but at the same time I have a friend that has lived with 4 other guys. I always want to say to her how many people are you going to live with before you figure this out this is not how you should go about this. But living with that someone worked for me!
I think it is good to live with someone prior to marriage it will give you time to adjust to each other and to learn each other habits.
Good job--where is your about me post? Great job posting to your classmates' logs.
