Married couples more likely to stay together compared to those cohabiting

Married couples stand the best chance of staying together statistics have revealed

The Office for National Statistics has revealed that their figures show that married couples are amore likely to stay together compared to couples who are cohabiting.

After analysing census records of hundreds of thousands of families in the UK, the results showed that 4 out of 5 couples who had married in 1991, were still together 10 years on. 3 out of 5 of those couples who were cohabiting were still together, out of which two had decided to marry in that 10 year period, and one couple were still living together.

Even when outside factors were taken into consideration such as health, education levels, employment status and social class, the results remained unchanged.

The independent study also found that older couples and those with children were more likely to stay together.

The ONS who conducted the research have made a suggestion as to why marriage is more likely to keep couples together. They say it could be down to the fact that those individuals who are capable and want to be in a long-term relationship, are more likely to marry rather than cohabit. Those who are not inclined to stay in long-term relationships, won’t consider marriage.
