AN ARGUMENT FOR COHABITATION / CASUAL SEX
P1. Testing out a relationship before having children minimizes the risk of family breakups
P2. Cohabitation allows couples to test out a relationship before having children
C. Therefore cohabitation minimizes the risk of family breakups
CONSERVATIVE COMMENTARY
P1 is true in a limited sense however P2 is only one form of testing a relationship which has to combat “relationship inertia” and does not necessarily minimize the risk of breakups.
