Americans Prefer to Undergo Counselling Before Entering into Relationships
A study by the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University, found approximately 8.1 percent of households consist of unmarried heterosexual partners, and the number increased tenfold between 1960 and 2000.
In the past, couples married before quarrels developed, but now some younger couples try to sort through their issues of compatibility for years before they take the final decision.
The decision is taken upon consideration of one's capacity for personal growth, and the fear that marriage can lead quickly to divorce.
Philadelphia psychologist Dr. Michael Broder has worked with couples for more than 35 years, and sees therapy as an increasingly common and acceptable option for those in their late 20s and early 30s.
"I'm seeing more younger, unmarried couples than ever. I didn't used to, but in the last 10 to 15 years, it's really been increasing," Newsweek magazine quoted him as saying.
Broder estimates that today one third of his couples are unmarried, and of these, some never intend to marry.
