Press Release Summary: We have turned into a Cohabitation Nation, as living together
becomes an American institution. While celebrities living together is become widely
accepted and wildly popular. nothing new, what is new is that it has gone
mainstream,

Press Release Body: This is happening just new studies provide good news (for a
change) about cohabitation! 1) Divorce among women marrying their only cohabiting
partner is 28% lower than for women who never cohabitate before marriage. 2) Over
60% of all couples who marry will cohabitate first, showing that years of
condemnation have backfired and most couples reject the guilt-laden attempts to
discourage their live-in arrangement. 3) Women who only cohabitated with their
fiancée first, divorced less than women who went straight to marriage. 4)
Cohabitation will skyrocket since 70% of high school students believe living
together is worthwhile and harmless.

Ashville, North Carolina - October 5, 2008 – at the center of this debate is the
just released book written by Dr. John Curtis, author, consultant and marriage
counselor, and published by Robert D. Reed www.rdrpublishers.com. Happily
Un-Married: Living Together & Loving It, offers innovative strategies to strengthen
and stabilize the relationships of all types of cohabitating couples.

Dr. Curtis claims it is time to "reinvent" cohabitation. First, we need to raise our
expectations of cohabitation, then we need to become more supportive of those who
live together. In marriage, there is a commonly held myth that you will "live
happily ever-after." However, in cohabitation there is no similar assumption other
than "it won't last" which helps create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Happily Un-Married is the first book to take a serious and non-judgmental look at
cohabitating couples of all ages. This is a valuable book for the nearly 10 million
couples who already cohabitate, those intending to cohabitate, or those interested
in learning more about cohabitating.

The book pinpoints 20 distinct types of cohabitating couples from young and in-love,
to pregnant and pressured, and from anti-marriage advocates to seniors who cohabit
to protect their pensions or inheritance. Cohabiters are just as likely to live
together for convenient sex, as they are to save on taxes. Cohabiting is not just
for the twenty-somethings, it is happening among all ages.
