Marriage Versus Co-habitationWednesday 17 July 2002
Is marriage better than co-habitation?

Professor Linda Waite author of The Case for Marriage argues that co-habitation is an inferior social arrangement that should be discouraged. Journalist and author Yvonne Roberts disagrees and thinks it's committment that matters, not marriage.
Linda Waite and Yvonne Roberts join Jenni to discuss these issues.
Linda Waite, The Case for Marriage: Why married people are happier, healthier and better-off financially, Broadway Books, ISBN: 0767906322
