Summary

Generally speaking, Americans are very bad about making solid commitments and following through on them. Why do two people decide to live together? In the 1960’s 1 out of 10 couples lived together. Today, 6 out of 10 couples live together. I believe the primary reason is that they want to experience all the benefits of marriage without any of its commitment and responsibilities. They want the benefit of a sexual relationship without having to make a permanent commitment. There are millions of people in America who “attend” church, but are not committed members of that church. They want to live with the Church, but don’t want to marry her.
