“…In particular, emerging adults with no college education experience significant increases in BMI associated with both marriage and cohabitation. That cohabitation and marriage have similar effects on change in BMI supports recent scholarship recognizing that as cohabiting unions increase in prevalence they are also becoming increasingly akin to marriage for some individuals, especially in more recent cohorts (see Kroeger & Smock, 2014). The increases in BMI associated with first marriage are significantly smaller for those with some college education—but are still present.…”

“…As discussed, cohabitation might be one of those factors. In contrast to heterosexual individuals, for whom the decision to cohabit with the partner is increasingly normative (Kroeger & Smock, 2014) and can actually be associated with weaker relationship quality (Stanley, Rhoades, & Markman, 2006), for LG individuals it seems to have greater implications for the individual and for the close social network (Haas & Whitton, 2015; Rodrigues et al, 2018).…”

“…Following Liefbroer and Dourleijn (2006), when cohabitors make up a small share of couples, they can be drawn from one extreme of the population distribution, where there is, say, limited commitment and more reluctance to invest in the relationship. Strong selective forces favoring separate monies cannot be sustained when cohabitation has become a 'normative life event for most population subgroups' (Kroeger and Smock, 2014), as is the case in the U.S. and many parts of Europe. Drawn from a broader population, cohabitors will be more heterogeneous and more like married persons in financial arrangements and their predictors.…”
