Summary: Study
finds cohabitation before engagement
associated with less marital content
and a higher risk for divorce.
-
The
University of Denver Study found
that “Those who cohabited before
engagement (43.1%) reported
lower marital satisfaction,
dedication, and confidence as
well more negative communication
and greater proneness for
divorce than those who cohabited
only after engagement (16.4%) or
not at all until marriage
(40.5%).” This study reaches
very similar conclusions of
previous research on how
cohabitation negatively impacts
marital satisfaction.
