Originally aired on Jason's You Winning Life Podcast, this episode is a must listen to anyone trying to build a healthy relationship.

Premarital cohabitation has consistently been found to be associated with increased risk for divorce and marital distress in the United States. Two explanations for this "cohabitation effect" are discussed: selection and experience. We present an empirically based view of how the experience of cohabitation may increase risk for rela-tionship distress or divorce for some people beyond what is accounted for by selection. Specifically, using a commit-ment framework, we suggest that some couples who otherwise would not have married end up married because of the inertia of cohabitation.

Leading researcher Dr. Scott Stanley discusses concerns over the patterns of contemporary relationships that most impact a couple's long-term commitment: Sliding through major transitions before making clear Decisions about what they want for the future.

Dr. Scott Stanley, Research Professor and Co-Director of the Center for Marital and Family Studies at the University of Denver, presents his definitions and suggestions for building and sustaining a dedicated commitment in a relationship.
