Cohabitation is an arrangement where two people who are not married live together usually having sexual realationship together.
This has been critized by many people including the church, the question here is what drives people into cohabiting.
A friend of mjnr once told how she got into a relationship and she couldn’t afford to loose the guy and ended up cohabiting with him. There are several arguments which usually tend to tip the scale towards cohabitation.

There are many reasons why people cohabit and they are outlined below-

Compatibility status

Some couples will prefer to test their compatibility before venturing into marriage. These couples may want to compare bathroom schedules as well as sleeping habits before committing to a union.

To protect the financial independence

In a bid to protect their individual assets as well as financial independence some couples prefer cohabiting without the joining of assets that marriage brings.

i would rather have a roomate than cohabit with a man

Theres no reason to cohabit with ur partner if you both have not done the real thing... Its a waste of time

Best way to know ur spouse.

But things do often happen quickly that could make u get stuck.

Like unwanted pregnancy and et al

From experience, I would say cohabiting is bad and unhealthy for a relationship. Even if you want to cohabit, please set ground rules and clear terms that both partners must agree to.

And please, dont get used!

I see nothing bad in it, it is even advisable


1) it will save your house rent, that is if you both contribute

2) less spending for the man, no more going out on dates and stupid exercises that cost money

3)most importantly, you will know your partners little details. if she is the one that snores heavily, has some allergies, dirty(she can't hide this for long if you stay under same roof), lazy

some may say that it is bad because bride price hasn't been paid but they should realise that not everyone has time for bride price again

your head is anointed...for me,it is the best way to study your partner

It causes 'See finish'.
There's no fun, excitement or adventure in it.
