We married in 1999, I was 33, my wife 26 at the time

moving in before marriage is done all the time...but I don't think it builds trust, values one another, or the marriage...it takes away it being special. I mean why have a big wedding if you're already living together?


Well millennials are destroying the high divorce rate of previous generations so maybe the whole moving in before marriage thing is the better way to do it.

I pretty much lived with a gf in college when I was 21. Officially we had separate places, but I stayed at her apartment 5-6 nights a week.

Wife and I didn't officially move in together until the weekend before our wedding. But I was also at her apartment most nights for the year or two before we got married.

That’s misleading.
It’s due to people just moving in, probably having bastard kids, and not getting married.

When we got married 36 years ago. If you can’t keep one you’re doing it wrong

while marriage rates are decreasing, that has nothing to do with divorce rates, since divorce rates only consider those who have been married...

This, if you don’t get married, you can’t get divorced

Huh?

quote:

New data show younger couples are approaching relationships very differently from baby boomers, who married young, divorced, remarried and so on. Generation X and especially millennials are being pickier about who they marry, tying the knot at older ages when education, careers and finances are on track. The result is a U.S. divorce rate that dropped 18 percent from 2008 to 2016, according to an analysis by University of Maryland sociology professor Philip Cohen.

The Changing Institution of Marriage: Adolescents’ Expectations to Cohabit and to Marry



quote:

Cohabitation has become part of the pathway toward marriage. Prior work focuses on expectations to marry and has ignored cohabitation. Although most young adults are not replacing marriage with cohabitation, but instead cohabit and then marry, it is important to study adolescents’ joint expectations to cohabit as well as marry. Our analyses draw on recently collected data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (N = 1,293). We find that adolescents are less certain about their cohabitation than marriage expectations. Dating and sexual experience, traditional values, prosocial activities, and parents influence adolescents’ union formation expectations. The findings from this work suggest that adolescents are including cohabitation as part of their future life trajectories but rarely envision cohabitation as substituting for marriage.


LINK

quote:

According to data analyzed by sociologist Wendy Manning at the National Center for Family and Marriage Research (NCFMR), only "11% of women who first married between 1965 and 1974 cohabited prior to marriage." By 2005-2009, 66% of women were shacking up before marriage: a sixfold increase from their parents' generation.

ok

if you want to make the argument that the people that would likely get divorced in previous generations just are not getting married these days, thus helping drive the divorce rate down, I can see that argument

but even then, I consider that to be a positive, no? that either way these people would get separated, but now they don't have to deal with the burdens of divorce
