Cohabitation – A New Trend For Seniors?
February 9, 2010
The Washington Times has a story today.
They found that cohabiting seniors are as content as married seniors when it comes to emotional satisfaction, communication, physical pleasure and time spent together. But they also found four significant differences.
Senior cohabiters are less likely to live with a partner who makes “too many demands” on them: Just 23 percent of cohabiters say they live with a nag, compared to 38 percent of married seniors.
But married seniors are more likely to attend religious services regularly (37 percent vs. 7 percent) and more likely to report being “very happy” (63 percent vs. 47 percent).
