What Young Adults Need to Know about Cohabitation before Marriage

David Popenoe and Barbara Dafoe Whitehead

Rutgers University Study

Cohabiting couples breakup three times more than married couples. Cohabiting couples that later marry have a 46% higher rate of divorce than those who did not cohabit prior to marriage.

I would start off with some of the positive aspects of getting married, just to grab the reader's attention. You can start off with statistics, how much people tend to put into weddings, how excited everyone is at the thought of one day being married...and then go into, "There is also a darker side of marriage" Then list the ones that you're going to talk about in your paper. At the end of that paragraph, introduce the question that you're seeking to answer in your conclusion. For example, if you conclude that marriage is not for everyone, pose the question, "So why is it that we all depend so heavily on the idea of marriage?"

You sound like you have an intro and Your overlooking it. What are the worst reasons to get married to someone. There are so many people in the world who marry for all the wrong reasons instead of taking the time to get to know the person and making the right choices.

Hope that helps

Start by catching your readers attention with the simple question that all marriages start with: '"Will you marry me?" He asks and she agrees. Now, has either taken the time to think if they are getting married for the right reasons? It is logical, at some point, to think of the worst reasons for getting married.'

Now, write the reasons in your next paragraph and your support for each--in order--should be written in the 3rd paragraph and your conclusion in the last. Good luck. PS. Feel free to rewrite my direct sentences.

the worst reasons to get married to anyone, ever.

1. Did not want to be single anymore

2. Thought my partner was the best I could do

3. Thought I could change some aspect of my partner

4. Felt family pressure

5. For financial reasons

6. There was an unplanned pregnancy

7. To escape my family

8. Figured I could make it work

9. Partner pressured me

10. Wanted to have children

11. It seemed like the next logical step

mail order marraiges (with brides from other countries looking for a way into your country)

shotgun marriages (you knocked someone up so you think you're doing the right thing by marrying them)

gold-digging marriages (someone marries someone because they have a lot of money)

visa marriages (see the first one)

drunken marriages (night out in vegas, you get tipsy, you decide to marry the girl you see next to you and wake up not knowing that you did all that, lol)

1) For better finances/financial security

2) To avoid suffering loneliness

3) To gain access to a trust fund that parents, grandparents, great aunts/uncles left you that requires you to be married in order to gain access

4) To hide your true sexuality and put on a public image/front of a happy moral lifestyle ( some homosexuals have been guilty of this if their career is in politics or high profile business ).

5) To avoid being seen as a sinner ( in regards to pre-marital sex, living together without being married )

6) Because a child was created out of wed-lock

7) Out of pressure

8) Because you have low self-esteem and fear you will never be able to find or do better than your current situation/current person you're with

9) Because you think it will improve your relationship

10) Because you think it will make your significant other take you more seriously or love you more

11) Because you "think" you're in love

12) Because it is a cultural/family tradition/arranged

13) Because of your age

14) Because you "think" it will be a dream come true/fairy tale/fantasy

15) Because you think it will guarantee happiness with your partner for life

The worse thing of getting married was "when you thought you love your partner but it is all a dream".

Sometimes, we need to know the person better as we do before proposing. Lots of things and issues happened already in getting married without proper education about marrying a person you really love. Marriage is some what special, we need to treasure it and know how to value it as our key to happiness.

Got some ideas on my mind but I think I need to compose it. he he ...

Goodluck dear!

Getting married while still drunk and not knowing what u did till u wake up next to a stranger next day... O.o

Introduce what ur going to be writing about give 1 or 2 examples and explain why people get married...

You could perhaps introduce the topic by discussing what marriage is and isn't in this part of the world at this time in history. What do people expect and want to get out of marriage? Then you can talk about why each of the bad reasons is unlikely to get people what they want.

P.s. for your list of bad reasons, don't forget "Everybody else is doing it."
