ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY ON LIVING TOGETHER V/S MARRIAGE

Thesis Statement

Marriage has long been traditional and sacred event that intends to keep a couple together for life. People engaged in this activity to promote the customs, traditions and family values. He was a longstanding tradition that most cultures around the world participate. In recent years it has become socially acceptable to live together before marriage or not marry at all. Sometimes couples will not resort to marrying to avoid trouble in a public divorce or separation, if the relationship to end (Garascia 2002 31). This shows ignorance and immaturity of these types of people. I think it also shows a fear of commitment and stability to the person or persons in a relationship.

What are the benefits of marriage vs. living together?

One of the most obvious ways of improving the health and welfare of the population in the world is to encourage and support the idea of marriage. Studies consistently show that married people are generally physically healthier, happier, live longer, enjoy better mental health, more satisfied and less prone to physical violence. Premarital cohabitation (living together as a family outside of marriage) does not lead to marriage gives the same benefits. Instead, it brings increased conflict and aggression, as well as an increased risk of divorce in later marriages.

Alcoholism

According to scientists, research has consistently found more alcoholism and problem drinking among the unmarried than married (Hunt Hof 1998 275). In particular, separated and divorced account for 70 percent of all chronic alcoholism issues, while married men make up only 15 percent. Single men are ...
