When Cohabitation Empowers and When it does not

Cohabiting: Most people think it’s marriage-lite; that it preps you for a better commitment; and that it’s low-risk and empowers you for full commitment.

Science disagrees.

But should you cohabit anyway? For most, it’s very tempting; if nothing else, it helps save some money. For some, it’s a great move. For others, notsomuch.

Where do you fall in all this?

In this podcast on Love & Life with Dr. Karin, we cover what you get with living together; what you don’t; and who benefits most from full commitment sans shacking up!

You can listen on any major podcast platform. Here are two:

Doing Divorce Differently With Science

Wise Readers,

Whether you’re happily partnered, considering divorce, or in the thick of a custody battle—this NEW podcast episode I did with attorney-mediator Lesa Koskey is must-hear. In it you’ll get the factual answers to your questions—questions like:

*What are the three situations where divorce not only makes sense—it’s the better choice?

*How many people remarry the person they divorced?

*If forgiveness is so good for us, why do we resist doing it?

*How can you keep your kids out of the middle of your dealings with your ex? What if the ex is the one trash-talking you to your children?

And it’s all science-based, of course!
