Research on Cohabitation Has Shown That

Research on cohabitation has shown that:

A) people in the U.S. who cohabit before marriage have an increased likelihood of separation than those who do not cohabit, but this pattern has not been found in other countries.
B) regardless of whether they are engaged before cohabiting, they are more likely to separate than those who do not cohabit.
C) people in traditional cultures who cohabit before marriage have an increased likelihood of separation than those who do not cohabit, but this pattern has not been found in the U.S.
D) one factor in the success of cohabiting couples is how well it is accepted in one's culture.
