Recommended: Concept of Marriage

Kayla, I enjoyed reading your draft. I had no idea what the status of marrige is in today's society. I found your entire topic and draft to be very interesting from start to finish. You have also found and cited some really solid resources. I think my favorite would be where you explain that people are getting their life in order before bringing someone else into to it. That is pretty neat. I also found it interesting that we are at the highest in numbers of cohabitating. I also found it very clear in which direction the paper is going in. Overall the direction is clear, it seemed that the flow was a little off. I didn't see a thesis statement. By creating a solid thesis statement with 3 main points, the main point paragraphs

  • The Differences Between Dorian Solot’s and Stephanie Coontz’s Essays

    1619 Words  | 4 Pages

    Is marriage really important? There is a lot of controversy over marriage and whether it is eminent. Some people believe it is and some people believe it is not. These opposing opinions cause this controversy. “On Not Saying ‘I do’” by Dorian Solot explains that marriage is not needed to sustain a relationship or a necessity to keep it healthy and happy. Solot believes that when a couple gets married things change. In “For Better, For Worse”, Stephanie Coontz expresses that marriage is not what is traditional in society because it has changed and is no longer considered as a dictator for people’s lives. The differences between these two essays are the author’s writing style and ideas.

  • Critical Response: The Downside Of Living Together

    1023 Words  | 3 Pages

    In her text, she states that cohabitation has become very famous in the United States. Jay also reports that young adults in their twenties see cohabitation as a preventive way to avoid divorce. The perception that she contradicts by pointing out that people who cohabit before marriage are more at risk of divorce because once they are married they become unsatisfied of their marriage, she calls this phenomenon the cohabitation effect. The author also punctuates that the problem of the cohabitation effect is that lovers do not really discuss their personal perception of cohabitation or what it will mean for them. Instead, they slide into cohabitation, get married, and divorce after realizing that they made a mistake. She proves her point by presenting a research which shows that women and men have a different interpretation of cohabitating prior marriage. Furthermore, the author emphasizes her argument by saying that the problem is not starting a cohabiting relationship but leaving that relationship which can be the real issue after all the time and money invested. Finally, Jay indicates that American’s mindset about their romantic relationship is changing and can be illustrated by the fact that more Americans started to see cohabitation as a commitment before

He also fails to offer adverse aspects of marriage beyond the cost of divorce.

  • Compare And Contrast The Marital Decline And Marital Resilience Perspective

    1055 Words  | 3 Pages

    Marriage is the legal or formally recognized union of a man and a woman, or two people or the same sex as partners in a relationship. Marriage rates in the United States have changed drastically since the last 90’s and early 2000 years (Cherlin 2004). Marital decline perspective and marital resilience perspective are the two primary perspectives and which we believe are the results from the decline. The marital decline perspective is the view that the American culture has become increasingly individualistic and preoccupied with personal happiness (Amato, 2004). The change in attitudes has changed the meaning of marriage as a whole, from a formal institution

  • Cohabitation and its Effect on Marital Stability in the US

    1723 Words  | 4 Pages

    Cohabitation, over the last two decades has gone from being a relatively uncommon social phenomenon to a commonplace one and has achieved this prominence quite quickly. A few sets of numbers convey both the change and its rapidity. The percentage of marriages preceded by cohabitation rose from about 10% for those marrying between 1965 and 1974 to over 50% for those marrying between 1990 and 1994 (Bumpass and Lu 1999, Bumpass & Sweet 1989); the percentage is even higher for remarriages. Secondly, the percentage of women in their late 30s who report having cohabited at least once rose from 30% in 1987 to 48% in 1995. Given a mere eight year tome window, this is a striking increase. Finally, the proportion of all first unions (including both marriages and cohabitation) that begin as cohabitations rose from 46% for unions formed between 1980 and 1984 to almost 60% for those formed between 1990 and 1994 (Bumpass and Lu 1999).

  • Pros And Cons Of Cohabitation Before Marriage

    1223 Words  | 3 Pages

    People think divorce is always an option so it’s what they choose to do. A lot of couples do not focus on their relationship and get help, they would rather split and go their separate ways. This subject has widen my opinions on cohabitating and I believe it isn’t for everyone. Different people have different ways of living and it can be challenging living with another person. I, however, am a person that accepts change and looks at the positive things. I work on relationships until there is no hope. When I get married and discover troubles in the marriage, I would do my best to work on our relationship. Divorce is something I don’t want to go through, it is a difficult process and can indefinitely ruin the relationship. All in all, I will keep this research in the back of my mind. It is a very interesting topic to study about and everyone should be informed about it. It can be troubling when a person is not aware that cohabitating before marriage can ruin the relationship or later marriage. I hope that this research has been an eye-opener for the reader as well. I hope that in my future, I do not become the negative statistic of premarital cohabitation. It is not something I see in my future ahead of me, but anything can happen. In today’s society, cohabitation is a common thing for couples and maybe the statistics will change with time. The negative impacts will hopefully in turn disappear and nothing but good will come out of

    The question was to write a 4 page in which you discuss the impact a on-literacy text has on your reading of “The Lottery,” “Sonny’s Blues,” OR “Hills Like White Elephants.” I chose the story “Sonny’s Blues” because I Understood this story better than others. First of all, since I did not get good grades, I thought I should put more effort on these papers in order to do better in this course. So, I tried to use some higher level words so that my paper may look like a higher writer’s paper. Same as the 1st paper, my thesis statement still was not clear because the way I put the thesis, it seems like my opinion, however, If I try I can make it look like a better thesis statement. For example, “I think you can work on your thesis. Your thesis is like generalized about the story but professor want something that changed or confirmed your view. Definitely, you can work on thesis to make clear idea what this essay is about.” (Peer Review 2- Islam) In other words, as I said, my thesis is more look like a sentence that summarizes the story where in this paper, it should look like a change that after reading a secondary source have made. This was my thesis, “A non literary text impact various way depending on how an individual analyzes the piece.” (Paper 2-page 1). After the peer review, I have changed my thesis statement into something like this “Reading

  • Argumentative Essay On Marriage

    Marriage is a complicated topic and even more complicated when it ends in divorce. When entering a sacred union, such as a marriage, the person is entering uncharted water that can end up in happiness or divorce. For females in the 1900s, it became more of a chore than happiness. From an early age, the female mind has been trained, by their parents and society, to automatically take the role of a mother and a wife. Many married women understood that by marrying a man, they would have to understand the need of their husband as well as being the proper wife.

  • Premarital Cohabitation Essay

    2387 Words  | 5 Pages

    The most frequently asked question is what is the relationship between how long individuals cohabit with a partner before marriage and their demeanor towards marriage timing and reasons to cohabit and to what magnitude is this relationship connected to individual’s demographic attributes such as age and income? The dramatic rise in premarital cohabitation in recent years has raised questions as to whether cohabitation is the chosen lifestyle weighs against to marriage or is marriage for the time being swapped by premarital cohabitation for other reasons such as economic state of affairs. It seems that premarital cohabitation may be a composite mix of attitudes and one's economic circumstances rather than attitudes alone. Those who favor the life style comparable with cohabitation may cohabit for longer duration whereas those who cohabit for economic reasons may do so till their economic circumstances get better. In the United States, there were half a million premarital cohabiting couples in 1970. 1995, there were over three million cohabiting couples. Unlike other countries like Sweden, where premarital cohabitation has been a more firmly incorporated phenomenon since the early 20th century, cohabitation in the United States is more modern and has particular lineaments. Recent national estimates from the National Survey of Family and Households exhibit that in the United States 36% of the individuals between 25-34 years of age cohabited before marriage. This testifies that premarital cohabitation may be a forerunner to marriage for some. These same data also show alteration in how long individuals cohabit. About 40% of the couples cohabit for one year, about 33% cohabit for about two years and about 10% cohabit for five or mor...
