Cohabitation Hinders Strong Marriages

There is now a well-researched, credible book regarding the ravages of cohabitation. Syndicated columnist Michael McManus and his wife, Harriet, have released a new hardcover book, Living Together: Myths, Risks & Answers that details the impact of cohabitation on relationships and marriages.

Co-founders of the Marriage Savers® organization, Mike and Harriet argue in this important book that theory and reality are often not the same. They take a fundamental position that one cannot practice permanence, and unless a marriage is established as permanent, a couple will not approach it the same way. This significant finding has come from the McManuses' fifteen years of studying marriage and divorce and their desire to help couples build strong marriages that last a lifetime.

In the pages of this book, you will discover that the divorce rate is actually higher among couples who live together before marriage, as well as important principles that really do give couples the necessary tools for a successful marriage.

Consider this book an investment in yours or someone else's marriage. Whether you are a counselor seeking to help others in their marriage, a parent helping a child as he or she is contemplating living with someone, a pastor who needs a reliable tool to help couples in his ministry, or a person considering living with someone yourself, this book is for you!
