I think you've highlighted an important part of the study. I think there is still a high divorce rate among those who chose to wait because many still don't really look at marriage as life long. Thanks for your thoughts Lindsey.

I think the main part, as you've highlighted, is that couples that move in together "without a clear commitment to marriage may wind up sliding into marriage partly because they are already cohabiting" I think marriage for what it is, needs to be treated as a step in a relationship that's a life long commitment-not just something to do because you already live together. I don't think it's necessarily the fact that they are living together, it's that they've settled on marriage without looking thoroughly into what that means for them and the rest of their life.
