<P>Topic</P>
<P> </P>
<P><STRONG>Living Together Before Marriage </STRONG><BR> </P>
<P>Some social commentators and young people have suggested living together before marriage is a good idea. There is, however, an ever-growing collection of data that sheds an unfavorable light on the arrangement once called 'living in sin.' </P>
<P>The prevailing theory is that couples can strengthen their relationships by living together before getting married. Instead of strengthening marriages, however, living together damages future marriages dramatically. </P>
<P>For example, if a woman lives with a man before marriage, she is more likely to cheat on him after marriage. In a recent study published in the Journal of Marriage and the Family researchers analyzed reported sexual relationships of 1,235 women, ages 20 to 37, and found that it was 3.3 times more likely that a woman who had cohabited before marriage would have a secondary sex partner after marriage. The study also found that married women were 'five times less likely to have a secondary sex partner than cohabiting women' and that 'cohabiting relationships appear to be more similar to dating relationships than to marriage.' </P>
