Why is it that young couples in America are living with each other all over the place even though they are not married? Does anyone still believe in values in this country?

Yes, but we are losing them pretty fast.

Well there are many people who have values, but these are the ones who aren't usually loud. Values are values and deep down, we all know what is right because we have either been taught the right ways or we've seen it. But some just want to make unnecessary statements and live their lives proving something forever, but what's that really going to do?

Young people are immature and want to go to school on the ways of living a mature life. Young people are too anxious and too scared and too broke to make it on their own in the beginning. They choose to pick a partner to share their lives for financial, companionship and to test the waters. It's cheaper to have two people sharing a one bedroom apartment, than two people sharing a two bedroom apartment. They pick someone and play house because they don't want to make the mistakes that are constantly exposed to with divorce. Everybody tells them what a pain in the B**** marriage can be, why buy the cow when the milk's free.

Everybody has values. It's just that other people may value different things than you do.
IMHO, there's nothing at all wrong with unmarried couples living together. In fact, I'm doing it myself.
I didn't like being married, but I do like having a live-in monogamous boyfriend. It's not hurting anybody else, so WHO CARES?!

Peoples values are different, but that in no way means they have no values. There are many thing unacceptable in other countries, but not in the United States. As long as it isn't illegal or affecting me personally, I don't care what anyone else does.

it' s not just living together... it s that people wont, and cant see what is right, and whats wrong...and the reason is GREED!!!!!

We ll never have any values anymore...we'd be just running from each other..more and more, trying to esc something... and it would be useful...!!!
