Living in sin. Shacking up.
While cohabitation is increasing, we're talking about divorce "rates" here. Fewer married people, as a group, are getting divorced. There may be fewer people getting married but those who do are increasingly staying married.
Yes.
‘Living in sin. Shacking up.;
horrible...they should all be stoned to death at the first available opportunity...
It’s not just fewer young people getting married, living in sin, shacking up. I know senior women shacking up because they don’t want to give up their deceased husband’s military pension, retirement benefits, etc.
