Cohabiting is a situation where a couple decide to live together like legally married people or husband and wife. This is very common in most Nigerian universities and undergraduates have come to see it as a means of getting to know their partners better and pulling resources together to overcome some little financial hiccups. Having said that, a lot of people have not only kicked against it, they have also identified it as an immoral act capable of leading to all sorts of problems for the supposed couples. Does cohabiting help to strengthen a relationship?
Is it a form of securing one’s relationship or keeping one’s partner from being unfaithful? Does cohabiting stop two people “happily” in love from breaking up? Does it help to stop or reduce unfaithfulness in relationship? Can you cohabit with your partner if that is what it takes to assure him or her of your sincerity in a relationship? Can it be morally justified in whatever circumstance? As a lady, does it boost your confidence that the man you are dating will definitely marry you because you live and stay together 24/7?
