It is true that the trend of living together before marriage has gained in popularity in recent years.

This issue has caused a big controversy in the whole society. However, There are both pros and cons
to deciding to do this.

Let’s begin by looking at the advantages of living together. One of the main positives of cohabitation
is that it is a good help to know each other better. What I mean by this is that you can understand
his interests, lifestyle and many things and vice versa. Another main advantage is that it shares big
responsibilities – financial because living together before marriage can share your house bill,
electricity bill and daily living expenses. For example, in university, many students choose to live
together before marriage in order to make important decisions after that .This can help you develop
relationships and make your life after marriage successful.

Turning to other side of this argument, there are several main reasons why the cohabitation can lead
to a host of adverse effects. Firstly, Pre – marital sex increases the risk of unexpected pregnancy for
women. In fact, this problem most happen in a group of teenagers because they are not fully aware
of sex. According to statistics in website, the abortion rate is still increasing. Secondly, some people
still maintain the views of traditional marriage, therefore living together will lead to a reputation and
public opinion. As a result, the cohabitation needs to be considered carefully.

In conclusion, the idea of cohabitation is good or bad is depend on each other’s attitude. Everyone
should also broaden their horizons and find solutions to avoid the disadvantages of living together.
