Playing House

Organization and Ideas

1. Question:But do the chances of a successful marriage actually improve by cohabiting?
    Her answer:No. Because of the lack of commitment, couples who do marry after living together have higher rates of separation and divorce. Then the writer starts to support her opinion in the following paragraphs.

2. The characteristic of a cohabiting couple is the lack of commitment and specialization. As a result, they generally live more financially and emotionally independent of one another to allow themselves the freedom to leave. As to a married couple, they specialize and pool their resources to creat a higher quality lifestyle. They have more invested in their relationship and think longer.

3. Leight's view is that cohabitation can suppress the development of a higher level of commitment and that will cause the higher number of saparation and divorce. This opinion can be supported by paragraph 2 to 7 because Leight did a lot of research.

4. I think it's sufficient. Because this essay just has 8 paragraphs, the writer cites evidence at least 8 times. Therefore, this article becomes more persuasive and logical. I think it's enough.

5. No. I think this essay is pretty consummate. I cannot find any loopholes in this article.
