Cohabitation prior to marriage is wrong. It hinders the commitment of both parties to ready themselves for marriage. In a nationwide survey conducted in 2001 by the National Marriage Project, then at Rutgers and now at the University of Virginia, nearly half of 20-somethings agreed with the statement, "You would only marry someone if he or she agreed to live together with you first, so that you could find out whether you really get along."
