Cohabitation

Cohabitation, it's all about keeping an open mind and being able to see things from another perspectives. When I think of the word cohabitation of think of myself. I currently live with my significant other and actually enjoy it. It's good for us as well as our child. We get to be with each other as well as raise our child together. Many think that cohabitation is bad, that it ruins the excitement before marriage. Some say that people use cohabitation as an excuse not to get married. They figure hey, we can live together without being married so why marry. Some others may condemn it because they feel it goes against societies traditions, and so in order to avoid getting ridiculed by society they choose not to participate in cohabitation. Some believe that if they live with someone before they get married then they will have nothing to get excited about when they get married. In my opinion, living together before you get married actually is a type of preparation for marriage. You get to learn what the other person is really like. You can really find out if you want to spend the rest of your life with them. You and your partner can also learn how to deal with your finances together. You can learn how to communicate effectively with your partner, because most of the time communication is the key. Basically it boils down to the idea that cohabitation gives you the idea of what life would be like with that person. It may also give you a deeper connection with your partner. I think people should be open minded towards cohabitation and not be so quick to reject it. I think if people learn to see it's effectiveness is relationships and it's lessons they may consider cohabitation as an acceptable practice. Instead of rejecting ideas people should learn about them.
