In a world where living together before marriage is often seen as a “test run,” couples may think cohabitation will strengthen their relationship. But research shows that cohabitation before marriage can actually lead to higher divorce rates, less satisfaction, and more conflict.
Our pamphlet, Cohabitation, Should We Live Together?, addresses common questions couples have about cohabitation and provides insights on building a lasting, love-centered relationship. Here’s what it explores:
-
“If we’re committed, why wait until marriage to move in together?”
-
“Does living together before marriage help prevent divorce?”
-
“How does cohabiting affect our chances for a successful marriage?”
-
“Isn’t cohabiting just like marriage, minus the paperwork?”
-
“Why does the Church discourage living together before marriage?”
-
“How can we prepare for marriage without cohabiting?”
-
“What should we do if we’re already living together but want to align with our faith?”
-
“Does waiting to live together really strengthen our future marriage?”
This pamphlet offers a thoughtful, faith-based approach to understanding why waiting until marriage to live together can foster a more fulfilling, committed, and lasting relationship. It’s a guide to building a foundation of trust, respect, and shared values for couples seeking true marital success.
