Most countries, believing that married people form a kind of demographic and political bedrock, promote marriage (and, of course, child-having within wedlock).

Co-habitation is now more than “shacking up”; it’s a common life-choice. In  Not Just Roommates: Cohabitation after the Sexual Revolution (Chicago UP, 2012),  Elizabeth H.

She says they have and has some suggestions about how to give them the same opportunities those who married have. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
