Latinization of America is taking place faster than the Americanization of Latinos.Questions 73 to 76 are based on the following passage:More America ns are cohabit ing — livi ng together out of wedlock — tha n ever. Some experts applaud the practice, but others warn that pla ying house doesn ' t always lead to marital bliss. At one time in America, living together out of wedlock was scandalous. Unmarried couples who“shackedjp” were said to be "livingin sin. 'Indeed, cohabitation was illegal throughout the country un til about 1970. (It rema ins illegal in 12 states, although the laws are rarely, if ever, enforced). Today, statistics tell a different tale. The number of unwed couples living together has risen to a new high —more than 4.1 million as of March 1997, according to the Census Bureau. That figure was up from 3.96 million couples the previous year and represents a quantum leap from the 430,000 cohabiting couples counted in 1960.The bureau found that cohabiting is most popular in the 24-to-35 age group, accounting for 1.6 million such couples. Cohabitants say they live together primarily to solidify their love and commitment to each other, studies report. Most intend to marry; only 13 percent of cohabitants don ' t expect to make their relati on ship legal. But the reality for many couples is differe nt: Mov ing in doesn ' t lead to “ happily ev40aftsrcent of cohabitants never make it to the altar. Of the 60 perce nt who do marry, more tha n half divorce with in 10 years (compared with 30 perce nt of married couples who did n' t live together first).Cohabit ing part ners are more un faithful and fight more ofte n tha n married couples, accord ing to research by the Howard Center for Family, Religion and Society. Other studies have come to equally dour con clusi ons.Still, experts predict the number of cohabiting couples is likely to grow. As the children of the baby boomers come of age, they ' re likely to defer marriage, as did their parents. This will lead to more cohabitation and nontraditional families. Analyst Robert Knight of the Family Research Coun cil agrees the trend will hold for the n ear future. Un til people discover that livi ng together has pitfalls, it won' twane in popularity, says Knight, author of Age of Consent: The Rise of Relativism and Corruption of Popular Culture. Cohabiting has been portrayed with “ careful n eutrality ” in the media, and Hollywood celebrities who move in and out of each other's homes setthe sta ndard.all fear that 92_ religious notions ——fear of hunger, wild beast, sickness, death.
