对于家庭研究人员来说，一个持续存在的问题是：为什么同居和婚姻破裂之间存在正相关，而同居的主要原因之一是为了测试关系的兼容性？根据2006-2008年全国家庭成长调查（National Survey of Family Growth）最近收集的数据，作者研究了婚前同居经历是否与婚姻不稳定有关，研究对象是当代（1996年结婚）的男性（N = 1483）和女性（N = 2003）。他们发现，婚前同居的二分指标实际上与女性和男性的婚姻不稳定无关。此外，在同居者中，同居前的婚姻承诺（订婚或明确的婚姻计划）与女性婚姻不稳定的风险较低有关，但与男性无关。这项研究有助于我们理解同居、婚姻不稳定和更广泛的家庭变化。
An ongoing question remains for family researchers: Why does a positive association between cohabitation and marital dissolution exist when one of the primary reasons to cohabit is to test relationship compatibility? Drawing on recently collected data from the 2006–2008 National Survey of Family Growth, the authors examined whether premarital cohabitation experiences were associated with marital instability among a recent contemporary (married since 1996) marriage cohort of men (N =1,483) and women (N =2,003). They found that a dichotomous indicator of premarital cohabitation was in fact not associated with marital instability among women and men. Furthermore, among cohabitors, marital commitment prior to cohabitation (engagement or definite plans for marriage) was tied to lower hazards of marital instability among women, but not men. This research contributes to our understanding of cohabitation, marital instability, and broader family change.
