![Page 20: LOVE AND SEXUALITY](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062812/5681642d550346895dd5f216/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
COHABITATION• In the United States, cohabitation is experienced
by nearly two-thirds of emerging adults• Young people choose to cohabit because they
hope it will increase their chances of their marriage lasting
• Cohabitation increases the risk of divorce because it forces incompatible people into marriage out of the “inertia of cohabitation”

![Page 22: LOVE AND SEXUALITY](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062812/5681642d550346895dd5f216/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

![Page 24: LOVE AND SEXUALITY](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062812/5681642d550346895dd5f216/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ASPECTS OF ADOLESCENT FAMILY LIFE THAT INFLUENCE FEMALES’ PERSONAL
DECISIONS• Grow up in single-parent households are especially likely
to engage in non marital cohabitation and have non marital births.

PRECURSORS CONTINUED
• Adolescent girls with few emotional and social resources tend to start their families and unions relatively early
• Women with depression and despondency neglect to take precautions to prevent unintended pregnancies
• Women from high parental education, high family income, growing up in a two-parent household and not being of African American orientation are less likely to become pregnant and start unions early
