<p>TRIBE Women-Only Membership Program: https://bit.ly/Anchor2TRIBE</p> <p>Free Self-Love PDF: https://bit.ly/Anchor22xOTO<br> <br> If you've been dating for a while, the topic of whether to move in together will come up. Close to 70% of people cohabitate before marriage, and the number has been rising over the years because people are waiting to marry and rising housing prices. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br> <br> Some people see living together as a trial for marriage, while others see it as a matter of "why not" when living together confers conveniences and cost savings. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br> <br> What's interesting is that research shows that divorce rates are higher post the one-year mark for people who cohabitated prior to marriage, and marital quality is lower among those who started living together before engagement or marriage too. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br> <br> Why is this the case when intuitively, it would seem the opposite should be true? &nbsp;<br> <br> If you're interested in finding out, check out this episode. I also cover some of the oft-overlooked issues of living together that people forget to consider before calling the moving company.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/life-is-love-school/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/life-is-love-school/support</a>
