Reasons for cohabitation
When people have more personal freedoms, they seem to forget traditional morals one of which is not living together until they get married. Through press, we know that more and more young people cohabit nowadays, especially among students and industrial workers. Why do they do that?
The first reason is free relationship. Usually, cohabitants are those who come to city from provinces, so they are free to make their own choices. When asked, they say thay they are not bound by their parents constraints, and they are mature enough to make their own decisions.
The second reason is that they can share living expenses. Because they come from provinces, they have to rent houses or rooms for their accommodation, which is not cheap in this city. However, the expense can be reduced if it is shared. Moreover, it is very convenient for a cohabiting couple in many ways. When the male goes to school or is on his shift, the female stays at home to cook their meals, to clean the house or to wash their clothes, and vice-versa.
The last popular reason is called testing. Some cohabitants think that they should test their marital life before really getting married. They say they live with each other to see if they are compatible or not. But statistically, most cohabiting couples usually say goodbye to each other when they graduate from universities. I myself do not think that compatibility has to be learned by cohabition
