Give it up, Karen. I am not going to concede that point to you. I don't know if cohabitating couples do as well as married couples or not. I think it's likely but I have no way to know. If you recall, my simple point was that we need to study all the variables to see which are the salient ones and that you jump to conclusions assuming that it's marriage. The only point I'm looking to you to concede is that we don't have enough data to say what role the simple fact of being married plays, even for married couples. It is a complete failure because it breaks up so quickly that it is almost impossible to find any cohabiting couples that have raised children. LOL. If you hear of anyone interested in actually getting data, I know several couples who fill the bill. Kids in college and they're still together. If I know of several, people that I know well enough to know that they're <shhhh> not actually married, then I probably know a lot more but just assume they are married. It seems reasonable to extrapolate that there are at least enough out there to study. At the very least, we should study couples that stay together and couples who don't and find out why.
