week 7!!!

(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.
