S8E6 - Cohabitation

Cohabitation is a practice on the rise, particularly in the western world.

It has become so prevalent that the majority of marriages and remarriages now begin as cohabiting relationships, and many young men and women are likely to have cohabited at some point in their lives.

As you might imagine, cohabitation is not without its wicked problems.

First, it does not help that in the eyes of the law, cohabitation is not the legal equivalent of marriage or common-law marriage and this tends to have some overlooked implications for the relationship.

Second, people around the world have different views on cohabitation, depending on their background, culture, or religion.

Also, the thought process of cohabitation is an interesting dilemma for many young adults, especially since research shows the ‘sliding vs deciding’ position toward cohabitation can have many effects on the relationship down the line.

Now, given our Nigerian roots, we definitely acknowledge the western influence on this topic.

But there is some evidence that the practical norm of cohabitation is seeping into sub-Saharan Africa despite the continent's religious leanings.

And so we thought this was a wicked problem worth discussing.
