然而，在美国婚前同居还是一种相对较新的观念。
Living together before marriage is a relatively new concept in the United States, though.
但这同美国相比，就是小巫见大巫了，据2002的盖洛普民意测验显示，年龄处于18至49的已婚美国人中婚前同居者超过一半。
But it is not much compared with America where, according to a 2002 Gallup poll, over half of married Americans between the ages of 18 and 49 lived together before their wedding day.
尤其当讨论一个男方认为有问题的事件的时候，婚前同居过的情侣更容易做出消积行为，如强迫或者控制。
In particular, when discussing a topic the husband had identified as a problem, partners who had cohabited tended to express more negative behaviors such as coerciveness and attempts to control.
