Ah, (what passes for) a thought on lifelong commitment from one of our libertine libertarians!
" Ah, (what passes for) a thought on lifelong commitment from one of our libertine libertarians!"
I am in a lifelong commitment right now, but we cohabitated first. I see the value in a relationship going through a series of stages: non-exclusive dating, exclusive dating, sleeping over, co-habitation, then marriage (life-long commitment). It worked out very well for me and my wife. We learned a great deal at every stage. Would we have still succeeded had we gone straight from dating to marriage? Perhaps, but the jump would have been much bigger and more stressful to our relationship.
