communication & cohabitation

I know we just had a test over the recent material, but I did want to look back at some of the material that I thought was extra interesting. I really liked how much he tended to focus on communication when it came to marriage and relationships. I think that communication is one of the number one things necessary to keep a relationship, and without it a couple is doomed to failure. I mean, if two people can make a relationship work without good, positive communication, good for them, but obviously there is something seriously wrong in the relationship. I also thought that it was interesting when we talked about the four different types of cohabitation. I guess, I've never really thought a lot about why people cohabitate. There was the test cohabitation, where couples try living with each other before they decide to move further in their relationship. There was the conveinience factor, when people cohabitate for social, sexual, or economic reasons. There is also coindepent living, when people are dating, or just friends, etc. And lastly, we talked about cohabitation of emancipation; living without the parents. I suppose, I've just never thought that much into cohabitation, but now that I know a little bit more about it, it all comes together.
