Cohabit

Eyebrows are seldom raised when couples live together before marriage in western countries but its a very different scenario in Malaysia.

However, despite unfriendly glares and crude remarks, many couples are opting to live together before marriage for a variety of reasons. Living together out of wedlock is not a bed of roses.

There are several key factors which drive them to choose this lifestyle, most of which resolve around convenience, money and the uncertainty of marriage

Young couples are eager to know whether their compatibility includes all aspects - physical, emotional, psychological, financial and spiritual. It gives the couple an opportunity to see each other in a more realistic light.

However, the significant disadvantages of living together are often overlooked.

When you live with someone, you give a lot of yourself to the union. If it does not work out, the repercussions are similar to a divorce. The only difference is that you don't have the support of the law behind you. The situation is far worse for the woman than for the man.

I'm seeing this in-thing happening to my nephews and nieces.
During my recent holiday trip to Singapore (topic below), one of my niece slept with her boyfriend in the double bed beside mine in Capella Hotel. The other niece (who was the host) rented another room in a different wing to have privacy with her boyfriend.
A nephew had to pay RM in the thousands to break off with his live-in girlfriend.
3 siblings of a family I know, cohabit. The eldest, a tomboy , has a live-in girlfriend. She had umteen live-in girlfriends before. The elder married his live-in girlfriend after more than 2 years. The second is now living with his 3rd or 4th live-in girlfriend.

Times have changed. Cohabit was taboo in our parent's time. Today's parents have to change their outlook in life for their 's sake.

Sure, we've all got to move with the times. If you can't keep up, you're going to have to ship out. If you don't constantly re-invent yourself, you'll end up being a dinosaur.
