Answer 1

Answer:c. Cohabitating, unmarried partners have a slightly higher divorce rate after they get married than those who don't cohabitate until after marriage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most of the time young couples will just slide into cohabitation because it feels convenient to do so not because they have committed themselves into the relationship but mostly because it will be cheaper and save them a lot hence the moment they decide to get married that when it start to feel real and they start to consider that this is a long lasting decision when compared to cohabitation in which it was easy to get out when they want to.

They start by committing to an idea that is easy to escape and that is cohabitation so when a long lasting decision like marriage comes they start to realise it's not for them.
