Cohabitation
(continued from page 3)
the spontaneity of living
together. “You can’t always be
thinking of future consequen
ces when you do something. It
makes the relationship more of
a logical, theoretical process
than a bond.If you received
any -insight towards that bond,
splitting possessions down the
middle should come easy/’
One student offered, “If you
are not willing to marry, you
are really at the_. mercy of your
partner, and visa versa. If one
has the right- to walk out
whenever he or she is tired of
the relationship, then how can
you possibly have any rights as
far as money goes?”
Another student said the law
makes marriage less important:
“Why get married if you can
still have'their money, when
you are not married? Jt really
makes marriage less important.
It would really be hard to divide
up the purchases. If you were
married you would have a
lawyer to help, but when you
are not, it is a difficult
situation.”
Two students made more
general statements. “All sin will
have its rewards. You can’t
hide from God’s standards and
rules,” said one. Another said
the right to sue takes away the
entire advantage of living
together. One 18-year-old
man, on the other hand, said,
“Unless a legal document was
made out, the women don’t
have a right to anything. If they
want something, they should
get it. If they worry about who
keeps it, they really shouldn’t
get together in the first place.”
Another man, along the same
lines, said, “Why should she
get what I worked for? Let her
go out and work.”
One woman said the right to
sue for property should be
reserved for married couples.
“Just because two people
reside under the same roof
doesn’t mean they have a right
to each other’s finances and
other personal belongings. This
should be saved for two
married individuals with a bin
ding contract.”
One man said the law is not
appropriate because the couple
is not recognized as married by
the state. Another thought that
while the monetary value of
one partner may be greater,
the true intangibles of the other
may have balanced out the
relationship and its duties.

One 25-year-old female
College student said simply, *.‘I
don’t see how one person
could be held responsible for
supporting the other. If they
want this kind of security, they
should get -married.” Another
added, “Living together, in
