1. Leight poses a question “Do the chances of a successful marriage actually improve by cohabiting?” Her answer is “NO”. She also quotes various cases and research in support of her opinion.
2. Cohabiting and married couples have different characteristic. Cohabiting couples lack both specialization and commitment in their relationships. They generally live financially and emotionally independent to allow themselves to leave whenever they want. This often results in short-term relationships. In contrast, married couples specialize. They share household chores and pool their money, time and other resources to create a higher quality lifestyle.
3. Leight prefers married couples than cohabiting couples because she shows the advantages of married couples and the disadvantages of cohabiting couples. She tries to break the misunderstanding that cohabiting improves the chances of a successful marriage and convinces people that trust and commitment is the key to successful marriage.
4. I think it is sufficient enough for a research paper. Work cites shows references in a very detail way.
5. No, I think this essay is pretty convincing.
