Cohabitation is not a substitute for
maniage, Rowe said. It prolongs being
single and is a time for partners to adjust to
each other.
For a marriage in the 80's to survive,
there must be more equality and sharing,
McFwen said.
"There should be a re-evaluation of
marriage every five years," she said.
Couples should evaluate to see if their in
dividual wants and expectations are being
met.
McFwen said she thinks marriage will
continue but in a different form.
"People move from one to the next
marriage thinking it's the partners fault,"
she said. More people should seek adult
relationship counseling."
Crockett said egualitarian marriages are
increasing.
"It's a middle class thing," he said.
Nicholas said marriages in the 80's have
a high degree of partnership and equality.
"Both partners are accepting the idea
that they pull better in a double harness,"
she said.
Nicholas said the idea of premarital sex
doesn't make much difference in a relation
ship. "It lets a person know if their partner
snores and what she looks like in curlers,"
she said. "1 don't think it adds to a marri
age. 1 have nothing for or against it."
If the couple is mature and can handle
it, premarital sex is a good thing, McFwen
said. On the other hand, if a couple is not
mature, it's not a good thing. It depends on
both people.
McFwen said many couples who live to
gether and have premarital sex feel guilt
about living together and this leads to a
crumbling of a marriage.
Age also plays a big part in the success
or failure of a new marriage. McFwen said
people getting married are older than they"
used to be.
Twenty-three is the average age of
people getting married today, she said.
"There is also a small percent of women
getting pregnant younger. Values for
women are changing."
Basic attitudes for marriages are the
same, Crockett said. "It gives personal
support and love."
Some religions require couples planning
to get married to first take some kind of
premarital relationship counseling. The
Catholic faith has such classes.
McEwen said the classes, called Pre
canna classes, are not manditory, but are
strongly suggested.
It gives the couple a chance to discuss
personality traits and expectations for the
marriage while working with a priest,
McEwen said.
