A New York Times article called "The Downside of Cohabiting Before Marriage," has caused quite a firestorm said the author, speaking of her article about the risks of "living in sin... The article said while the practice of cohabiting is up 1500 percent in the past 50 years, "Couples who cohabit before marriage (and especially before an engagement or an otherwise clear commitment) tend to be less satisfied with their marriages, and more likely to divorce, than couples who do not."
http://mynorthwest.com/75/663474/Author-..."...About two-thirds said they believed that moving in together before marriage was a good way to avoid divorce...But that belief is contradicted by experience. Couples who cohabit before marriage (and especially before an engagement or an otherwise clear commitment) tend to be less satisfied with their marriages — and more likely to divorce — than couples who do not..."

Wow, without saying "We told you so" ...we did !:]
Not once was a Bible quoted, or a preacher referenced, to make the point that living together before marriage has a negative effect on couples. I think that unless the New York Times says it... it just ain't so! That being said, our nations liberal media and public schools will continue to meme the opposite of the bare facts!
It seems it is not enough to present facts and figures, if ones holding an apposing view don't want to hear it. It then becomes a matter of faith... and they are the ones who keep telling us... that if you have "faith" the facts don't matter... and it would appear so in this case. Regardless of the press pro-Christian results get, there is an atheistic agenda to wash brains of all reason. Oh "they" say "think outside the box" but then they eliminate everything that doesn't agree with their program.... SOMEBODY NEEDS TO PAY FOR GOVERNMENT PROVIDED CONDOMS!~
Just like a false religion, this government subsidized hedonistic mindset is administered... in full living color both at school and over the waves, yet contrary to "separation of church and state" their preachers get retirement packages and holiday benefits. Just try not sending your kids to their church/school ...you will be in for a hell of an inquisition! And (their god forbid) you teach your kids the heresy of abstinence, and purity.... you may have your freedom of speech revoked!
The worst part is these characters that are leading our youths, act like the law...
WELL, I have something to tell these phony Cops, and they better listen...
