Tot mai mulți adulți de 30 și 40 de ani preferă să locuiască împreună fără să se căsătorească. De ce mariajul nu mai este „pasul firesc” într-o relație

An increasing number of adults in their 30s and 40s prefer cohabitation over marriage, reflecting changing relationship dynamics. A recent study indicates that many single adults do not view marriage as a necessary step in long-term relationships. The research highlights that 38% of men and 29% of women favor living together without marriage, while a significant portion remains indifferent to both options. Factors such as past relationship experiences and educational background influence these preferences. Psychologists suggest that the shift in perspective stems from individuals entering relationships with established lifestyles, leading to a reevaluation of commitment beyond traditional marriage.
