I remember hearing about that too-- about how people who didn't live together before marrying generally held morals and their families opinions (therefore others opinions) higher then that of their own. For example people with religions that don't allow them to lay in the same bed before marriage..
While it's a proven fact that those stay married who don't cohabitate who is to say that the marriage is happy? Not to say they all aren't, but isn't it reasonable to suggest that those who have religious backgrounds and parents who expect them to stay together will stay together for those reasons, but not out of happiness?
It's so sad to me to see the divorce rate and then think about people who are still married but who are unhappy. It terrifies me that true pure passionate monogomous love seems to be dwindling, or more realistically, it never was common in the first place.. it's just that seperations and divorces and not getting married at all are becoming more popular.
this is a bit off topic, but
I want to believe that love still exists in the sense that there is compromise and intensity and almost a slight sense of desperation for that person. That there's lust and loyalty that withstands time and unassuming sacrifice, and most of all that both members feel a sense of FREEDOM in their relationship that I feel so many people don't have today. It seems to me like many people run from relationships to find freedom, when to me I feel some of it should be found within their dear one.
