Cohabitors also exhibit weaker partner support and fewer problem-solving behaviors than those who entered marriage directly (Cohan & Kleinbaum, 2002), which may make them less able to cope with dips in marital quality. Compared to couples who enter marriage directly, those who live together before engagement or marriage have more negative interactions and higher self-reported divorce proneness (Jose, O’Leary, & Moyer, 2010; Stanley, Rhoades, Amato, Markman, & Johnson, 2010).
