NEW FROM PEW RESEARCH CENTER
As marriage rates have declined, the share of U.S. adults who have ever lived with an unmarried partner has risen. But views about cohabitation differ by religion, a new Pew Research Center ([link removed]) survey finds. While roughly three-quarters of Catholics and non-evangelical white Protestants say it’s acceptable for an unmarried couple to live together even if they don’t plan to get married, smaller shares of black Protestants and white evangelical Protestants share this view.
