Why do you think so many couples are choosing cohabitation instead of traditional marriage?

What will be an ideal response?


Some of this may have to do with financial independence, and the increased partnership in raising children. Couples are not as dependent financially, and there are far fewer “stay-at-home-Moms” who require a bread-winner. Perhaps the divorce statistics are a bit daunting, too. The joint filing of taxes may as often result in a penalty as a benefit, and there are few stigmas attached to either cohabitation or nonmarital parentage.
