同居已经成为走向婚姻的一部分。以前的工作侧重于对婚姻的期望，而忽视了同居。虽然大多数年轻人并没有用同居取代婚姻，而是先同居后结婚，但研究青少年对同居和结婚的共同期望很重要。我们的分析利用了最近从托莱多青少年关系研究（N = 1，293）收集的数据。我们发现，青少年不确定他们的同居比婚姻的期望。约会和性经验，传统价值观，亲社会活动，和父母影响青少年的工会形成的期望。这项工作的结果表明，青少年将同居作为他们未来生活轨迹的一部分，但很少设想同居取代婚姻。
Cohabitation has become part of the pathway toward marriage. Prior work focuses on expectations to marry and has ignored cohabitation. Although most young adults are not replacing marriage with cohabitation, but instead cohabit and then marry, it is important to study adolescents’ joint expectations to cohabit as well as marry. Our analyses draw on recently collected data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (N = 1,293). We find that adolescents are less certain about their cohabitation than marriage expectations. Dating and sexual experience, traditional values, prosocial activities, and parents influence adolescents’ union formation expectations. The findings from this work suggest that adolescents are including cohabitation as part of their future life trajectories but rarely envision cohabitation as substituting for marriage.
