Extracted text: Statement True or False Cohabitation among less educated people is more often an alternative to marriage, while cohabitation among more highly educated people is more often a precursor to marriage. Disadvantages of cohabitation include having fewer legal rights in general and potential problems with obtaining a partner's health insurance or buying a home. Since 2000, cohabitation has become more likely to lead to marriage, thus cohabitation and marriage are increasingly linked. The increase in cohabitation has occurred only among whites and women, with 1/4 of whites and 1/3 of women now cohabiting prior to or in lieu of marriage.
