Some people think that cohabitate is better. But there has been studies that have shown the opposite. Marriage even though many end in divorce provide a lot more protection for the children if there were ever anything serious to happen. Like an accident and life insurance was to be dispensed. Things often time do not go well when it's just girlfriend and boyfriend that way.

Yeah that is true. Getting married can make things better for the family. It's a good thing though for young people for example to really take their time and think about what they want out of life before getting married. Because marriage is a big step.

You are asking two different questions that needs careful understanding and responses.Not all people are ready to answer your question because it needs careful planning to have such relationship like cohabitation or planning to get married.

Most younger generations are just like a piece of cake for them to say to settle down
as to cohabit with their relationship,because they do not know what would happen next time they could realized they were both in the same house.The next step to them is adjustments,which is very difficult to decide whether to let go or just stay so that they could have so much time with themselves.The most difficult decision they could do next is marriage,because they must know their individual roles when they are already tying their knots.They must think of all expenses,their growing family as they were already one family.Can they survive as married couple?

I think that it is very much up to the individuals whether they choose to live together or to get married, and I honestly think that either is okay in the modern world. There might be a little bit of pressure to get married now, but there would be nowhere near as much as there would have been in times gone by, and this is good because it at least means that you are not pressured to do something that you might live to regret in the future. I would always listen to your own heart and try not to be influenced by anybody else, and you should find that this is the way to be able to get the future that you want.

Who wouldn't want to marry and settle down in life and have a family for yourself. That is the best thing that can happen to any one in this world. A happy living family. I wouldn't choose cohabitation because of the fears of separation. The thoughts of cohabitation somewhere plays its roles in the thought of separation in the married couples these days.
Anyday, I would prefer marriage and a family to just live together. There has no meaning to it.

Well, in this era where matching is the best solution before entering a no return no exchange path of marriage life mostly teens preferred cohabitation. Live-ins as they called it. Maybe because they choose to know each other first if they are compatible but i am not saying the this is the best method for we still value the integrity of Marriage (Sacrament), maybe youths now a days make sure that they will not end-up in a agonizing marriage life, though its not good but that's their perceptions. More so, if you have cohabitation for more than 6 years then your marriage application will easy and cheaper just file an affidavit of cohabitation and a civil marriage is just a puff away without many explanation not to mention that in the Civil Registry , there is no child that is born as illegitimate, all are legitimate just made the father acknowledge the Child Certificate. Furthermore, single parenthood is acceptable and its protected by the law. So, no worries....hahaha..what a world!!
