Cohabitation

What is your opinion about cohabitation? Any positive or negative opinions about it? Does it lead to divorce in the end?

It actually does have a positive and negative point to it... the positive part of it if that, one could understand someone else really well before getting married, one could try out if this person is for them, one could spend all their time with their partner, the couple might feel more connected, closer and together... but the negative part of it is, its a way one get financial security, not having to stay with their parents, lowered income taxes, and just not having to get married! ;)

Also, it does lead to higher divorce rates... why? because people tend to take things for granted and do things without thinking of their partners, takes relationship more lightly since they stayed together before getting married, lines are drawn and then money will always be the first thing to draw line in, which also is one of the highest reasons couple argue about, and perhaps they just have had too much of each other? well, there are always many reasons for things to work or not...

What do you think?

What are people looking for in a relationship?

Many know what they want... but many do not know as well... for those who know, they might not find someone who wants the same thing as them or they might change their mind about what they after certain experiences or they might not find what they want at all... for those who do not know could either need not to think so much but just find out what they want as they go along or they might continue finding out what they want for the longest time...

SO, what is is that people want out from a relationship? Females? Males?

- just to have someone there?

- to have someone to spend time with?

- to have someone take care of the bills?

- to show that they are stable and family oriented, as if they are running for a position? ;)

- trophy wife or husband?

- it is expected of them?

- someone to be there for you when you need them?

- to have a best friend forever?

The list can just go on... and on... but the question is still lingering... what is it that people want in a relationship? Does it have anything to do with the type of love language they have?
