Journal Title: Journal of Education Culture and Society - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Thesis. Informal relationships are very popular in modern times. The number of people choosing marriage is slowly decreasing. The author of the article discerns the similarities and differences between cohabitation and marriage. The author puts forward the thesis that it is impossible to assess whether marriage is superior to cohabitation and vice versa. Concept. The author presents the deŢ nitions and legal regulations of marriage and cohabitation. Additionally she lists the types of cohabitation and types of marriage. Results and conclusion. In times of “liquid postmodernity” one should accept the coexistence of marriage and cohabitation, without assessing which of these forms is better, more beneŢ cial, richer. Originality/Cognitive value. In the subject literature cohabitation is presented as a short-term relationship, deprived of mutual obligations of partners, based only on sexual attachment and living together. It stands in opposition to marriage, which is as a permanent relationship based on mutual obligations of spouses and a strong emotional bond.
