Sexual Relationship Patterns

I found it extremely intriguing to discuss singlehood as being a part of sexual relationship patterns. Mainly because I have always thought of sexual relationships to be with two individuals. We uncovered that singlehood is increasing as more and more people are choosing to remain single.
Some view it as an extension of the youth years of one's life while others view it as an immature thing that should not be supported or practised.
Another topic we discussed was when older people remain living with their parents late into their adult years and beyond.
I feel that every situation is different and that people should be encouraged to move out and experience life on their own while developing those mature independent skills. On the other hand, if a person is merely remaining at home while increasing education or gaining financial stability then it should be encouraged as well. It is a very individualistic thing.

Cohabitation
I come from a family where cohabitation is the norm. Most of my cousins are living with their partners and children but chose not to solidify their relationship with the marriage act or title. I, on the other hand disagree with this.. I feel it is important to be married and living together strictly because of my religious views. I feel a little bit of a hypocrite because I, in the past, moved in with my boyfriend of whom i'd been dating 3 years. I didn't know what i was getting myself into but at the time felt it was the best, coolest, sweetest thing ever! I feel moving in with someone could be beneficial if it is with the right person, however i feel it should happen once marriage has already taken place in a couple's life.
