According to a 1983 study by Blumstein and Schwartz, what are some of the main differences between cohabiting and married couples?
What will be an ideal response?
The findings of the study suggest that cohabiting couples were more likely to have sexual intercourse more frequently than married couples (three times per week compared to once per week), and were not only more likely to have sex outside of the cohabiting relationship, but were also less secretive than married couples about the outside sexual activities. In cohabitant relationships, the female was more likely to initiate sexual acts than are married women. Men in cohabiting relationships tended to be more committed to the relationship if the partner was "attractive."
