Many people support the idea of premarital cohabitation. In fact, some sociologists and psychologists see premarital cohabitation as a healthy alternative to marriagecohabitation contractprenuptial agreementsdivorce. In fact cohabitation contracts are generally easy to enforce and do not take as much time or money as divorces. In fact, men are generally more adversely affected financially by divorce than are women. Many couples see premarital cohabitation, or cohabitation in the absence of marriage, as a safe and happy alternative to marriage. In fact, many couples view marriage and divorce as unequal contracts. While women are expected to take care of more household duties during the marriage, men are expected to support them in the event of a divorce. In essence, cohabitation agreements can protect both partners from an unequal distribution of property and assets in the event of a separation. Also, separation is made much less complicated in for cohabiting couples than in a divorce because the agreement answers any questions of ownership.

Cohabitation contracts are a beneficial agreement between partners that chose to simply live together in the absence of marriage or prior to the marriage. In addition to protection for property and assets, cohabitation contracts can also ensure inheritance rights if one partner passes away. For any couple that chooses to live together in the absence of marriage, cohabitation agreements can offer protection during the relationship or if the couple separates due to death or a decision to live separate lives.
