Compare the advantages and disadvantages of cohabitation

What will be an ideal response?


Cohabitation allows couples to learn more about each other's habits and idiosyncrasies, share finances, and mature in their relationship. Yet there are potential disadvantages. Parents and relatives may not support the union, and society as a whole tends not to recognize people who live together for purposes of health care or taxes. Also, the partners may want different things out of living together: One partner may view it as a stronger commitment to the relationship, whereas the other sees it as a way to have a more accessible sexual partner.
