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.
Sure, marriage by laziness - too often is the case where a person becomes embedded in a relationship that is not satisfactory, but the thought of change is too intimidating, either because of the effort involved or the fear of the unknown. Better the Devil you know than the one you don't.
But eventually it catches up . . . and then I get them in my office.
Job security? yeah, I have already seen some repeat offenders - people will get into another "relationship" (and I am talking about something that goes beyond casual dating) before the Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage is even entered with the court.

On of my co-workers (not the sharpest tool in the shed by a longshot) sang the blues to me yesterday. He said his wife left him. I asked him how long he'd been married and he said "2 years, but we've been together 15."
