Marriages and Cohabitations from Theological, Demographic and Social perspective

In the recent decades in Slovenia the frequency of cohabitating lifestyles has been increasing. The general public finds it difficult to define and under-stand why more and more people are not willing to get married and perfer to live in a non-conventional union. One of the reasons therefor could be the inadequate theological argumentation in the field of family life and the lack of credible research data honsestly comparing the benefits of marriage and the disadvantages of the cohabitating lifestyle.
