But click here for a list of findings from various studies about the dangers of cohabitation. I know that it does “work” in some cases, but the odds are longer and the results more precarious than either getting married or just not living together.

It depends on the couple – I’ve known plenty of happy families where the two partners aren’t actually married.
My worry about the use of “cohabitation” in this report is the looseness of the term. Are we counting this weeks boyfriend in that term?
