When people have more personal freedoms, they seem to forget traditional morals and one of which is not living together until they get married. Through press, we know that more and more young people cohabit nowadays, especially among students and industrial workers. Why do they do that?

The first reason is free relationship. Usually, cohabitants are those who come to this city from provinces, so they are free to make their own choices. When being asked, they say that they are not bound by their parent’s constraints, and they are mature enough to make their own decisions

The second reason is that they are share living expenses. Because they come from provinces, they have to rent houses or rooms for their accommodation, which is not cheap in this city. However, the expense can be reduced if it is shared. Moreover, it is convenient for a cohabiting couple in many ways. When the males goes to school or is on his shift, the female stays at home to cook their meal, to clean the house or to wash their clothes, and vice-versa.

The last popular reason is called TESTING. Some cohabitants think that they should test their marital life before really getting married. They say they live with each other to see if they are compatible or not. But statistically, most cohabiting couples usually say goodbye to each other when they graduate from university. I myself do not think that compatibility has to learned by cohabitation.

Does anyone know what have happened to many cohabitants? Many girls have to get abortion or stop their schooling, many boys don’t trust their companion and very few couples get married after that. This is really ironic

In short, before we give ourselves away, we should think twice and be responsible for what we have done
