Text 1
More Americans are cohabiting-living together out of wedlock--than ever. Some exports applaud the practice, but others warn playing house does not always lead to marital bliss. At one time in America, living together out of wedlock was scandalous. Unmarried spouses who "shacked up" were said to be "living in sin". Indeed, cohabitation was illegal throughout the country until about 1970. Today, statistics tell a different tale. The number of unwed couples living together has risen to a new high--more than 4.1 million as of March 1997, according to the Census Bureau. That figure was up from 3.96 million couples the previous year and represents a quantum leap from the 430,000 cohabiting couples counted in 1960.
The bureau found’ that cohabiting is most prevailing in the 24 - 35 age group, accounting for 1.6 million such couples. Cohabitants claim they live together primarily to solidify their love and commitment to each other.
A. experts hold an unanimously critical view on cohabitation
B. Americans are in general more tolerant of cohabitation
C. cohabitation rate actually dropped despite the increase in the number of unwed couples living together
D. living together out of wedlock is considered morally wrong today
