ScienceDaily (July 13, 2009) — University of Denver (DU) researchers find that couples who live together before they are engaged have a higher chance of getting divorced than those who wait until they are married to live together, or at least wait until they are engaged. In addition, couples who lived together before engagement and then married, reported a lower satisfaction in their marriages. 科学日志(2009年7月13日)丹弗大学研究人员发现：订婚前就同居在一起的夫妻的离婚率比起那些婚后或者至少是在订婚后才一起生活的夫妇更高。此外据报道，订婚前就一起生活的夫妇，其婚后生活的满意度较低。 The research, which appears in the Journal of Family Psychology, was conducted by Galena Rhoades, senior researcher, Scott Stanley, research professor, and Howard Markman, professor of psychology. 这份刊登在家庭心理学杂志上的研究，是由Galena Rhoades高级研究人员、Scott Stanley研究教授、和Howard Markman心理学教授共同完成的。 "We think that some couples who move in together without a clear commitment to marriage may wind up sliding into marriage partly because they are already cohabiting," Rhoades says."It seems wise to talk about commitment and what living together might mean for the future of the relationship before moving in together, especially because cohabiting likely makes it harder to break up compared to dating," Stanley says. |
