Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are multiple factors that could contribute to the prevalence of cohabitation households in a community, including easier access to reliable birth control, increased uncertainty about the stability of marriage, ease of separation compared to a marriage, and a reduced stigma associated with cohabitation and sexual relations outside of marriage. While some individuals may choose to cohabitate as a way to express that their relationship is different from a traditional marriage (option E), this is not necessarily a widespread driving force behind the trend. Therefore, only options A, B, C, and D are likely to be contributing factors to the observed prevalence of cohabitation households in the community.
