Which of the following has research proven to be an advantage of marriage over cohabitation?

What will be an ideal response?


According to research, a significant advantage marriage has over cohabitation is that married couples experience greater sexual satisfaction on account of the stronger emotional commitment and sexual exclusivity associated with it. It is easy to assume that cohabiting couples are likely to have stronger and healthier marriages on account of the experience they have living with their partner, but research supports just the opposite-that these marriages are more likely to end in divorce than those not preceded by cohabitation.
