Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has found that cohabiting older adults are generally as satisfied with their relationships as their married counterparts. Option A is unlikely as cohabiting older adults are less likely to have plans to marry in the future. Option C is also inaccurate as cohabiting older adults are more likely to have stable relationships compared to younger cohabiting couples. Option D is not supported by research either as older adults who cohabit are not settling for one another and may have various reasons for not marrying, such as financial or legal considerations.
