Not Evangelicals per se, but the acceptance pf cohabitation on the part of the normally traditional Queen Elizabeth during Prince William and Catherine’s courtship phase is another notable example — where adherence to tradition was seen as more of a liability than anything. (See: Charles & Diana.)

What man is masochistic enough to marry?
Men won’t marry, so women have chosen to live with them.

The Institute for Family Studies wouldn’t know an Evangelical if one kicked them in the A$$.

The rise in cohabitation over the past few decades has been sharp across the developed world, including the United States. Despite the teaching of their faith, Evangelicals have not proven to be much of an exception. If Evangelical leaders wish to turn this ship around, they will need to explore fresh approaches to addressing this issue.
Concluding paragraph.
Do the Evangelical leaders wish?

Unless the penalties for marriage are removed, you can’t expect men to choose marriage.

Evangelical Protestants are clearly the least likely to say it is likely they will cohabit someday and are the most likely to have ruled cohabiting out. Still, only about one in four gave the “Bible answer” of “definitely not,” and close to half are planning on or leaning toward it. Evangelical Protestants are not as different as we might expect: 65% have cohabited, essentially the same as Black Protestants (66%) and Catholics (63%).
Prior to conversion of after?

after all, the classic saying is “A man is not Complete until He’s married and then he’s finished”. I’m personally Finished but Wifey made the transaction compete...oops, I meant complete.

Differentiating terms tend to become watered down in time. "Evangelical" once meant "Bible believers" as those who strongly esteemed the Bible as being the sure, supreme, substantive, accurate and authoritative word of God. Classic "evangelicals"
long attested to being the most conservative unified large religious group (at least in the West) in key basic values and fundamental beliefs .

I predicted after gay marriage was accepted. Pretty soon, non-monogamy will be accepted too.

My daughter is getting married in the fall. As an evangelical Christian she and her fiancé are not cohabitating. They live a fair distance from each other and have arrangements with friends on each others town where one can stay.
It’s what you do.

Apparently studies have proven that when women and men get married first and then move in together, they're more likely to have a lasting marriage.
But if you don't do that, you're looking for a way out if something goes wrong.

Note age group:
The NSFG asks respondents who are not currently cohabiting or married if they think they are likely to cohabit in the future. Because I wanted to focus on young people’s views, I narrowed my focus to only those respondents who were 15 to 22 years of age who had never been married or cohabited. Evangelical Protestants are clearly the least likely to say it is likely they will cohabit someday and are the most likely to have ruled cohabiting out. Still, only about one in four gave the “Bible answer” of “definitely not,” and close to half are planning on or leaning toward it.

Cohabitating same as divorce and remarrying same as screwing before marriage.
Men are dumb, but women are superiorly stupid!; hence, feminism praising hookers, strippers, men participating in womens dports, and the ultimate, cohabitating.
Crapping all over themselves and loving the misery of it.

My prediction was that the end of real marriage and acceptance of homosexuals and lesbians being “married” was the the beginning of the arrival of “consenting adults” choosing whatever they want and calling it marriage, which means not only polygamy but whatever else they come up with.

Jonty30, needs to run for Congress. He hits the nail on the head. Gov’t subsidies abound for women who prefer NOT to marry, you get more welfare benefits by NOT being married. THIS is point, spot on. My own 2 grand daughters are prime examples. They would loose all freebies if they had a marriage license.
