According to opinion polls conducted in this country and abroad, many young people who are not married or having an informal marriage partner, consider premarital cohabitation is not only desirable but mandatory. "People learn better habits, character traits to each other, a marriage entered into after the partners will test themselves on compatibility, including sexual, are usually stronger" - this is a typical response to a question about the attitude towards marriage without official registration. This form of relationship is a "training" a certain type (a "trial marriage"). Particularly prevalent such attitudes among young students. The majority (95%) of surveyed students find it impossible to enter into marriage without prior cohabitation - a sort of prelude to a future marriage. Prolonged cohabitation of male respondents placed on the second place, and women - in the third. Even those who are married, often recognize that if they started a family life again, they would not have to hurry with the wedding.

Positive aspects of unregistered relations - the presence of a more open relationship, lack of coercion. In the case of quarrels with partners disappears arguments like: "Why did you marry me?" Or "You're my wife, finally?" Disappearing "effect of the owner, which is generated in many respects after the punch in pasporte.Bolshinstvo today's young people, in the First, consider that an unregistered marriage should be based on love, respect and mutual sympathy. Secondly, when the expected birth of a child, in fact, established family relations should "legalize." The first circumstance should be regarded as further proof that when it is not about casual sexual relations, but about more or less enduring union, it must be regarded as a specific, real-life forms of family life, perceptions of which coincide with the notion of wedlock .

 With regard to the unanimous opinion of the need to formalize their marriage, when the expected child, here, above all, reflects the well-known fact that legal discrimination against illegitimate children. According to the same survey, representatives of older generations are ambivalent about their children's premarital cohabitation. One part even though without much approval, but admits the possibility of unregistered unions. "Now these are nothing new, - says one of those supporters .- Time is. My daughter lives with her boyfriend, and I do not mind. There are even benefits for women. It is with greater ease than in a legitimate marriage, it may take from a man, if he for some reason it does not suit. " Another category, by contrast, refers to premarital sex is extremely negative, especially when it comes to their own children. Parent's conviction in the first place for women. If a relationship is revealed, the parents tend to impose an ultimatum to her daughter, insisting on a cessation of relations, or on their registration.

As for the "perpetrators of" parental dissatisfaction, then, both men and women in a trial marriage believe that the shape of their life together provides each partner with individual freedom. According to many, this is not a free hand and does not lead to promiscuity, but rather strengthens the mutual trust does not develop unmotivated jealousy and suspicion. However, despite this advantage, over 90% of respondents intend to test the feelings of each other, eventually legally formalize their relationship.

Many believe that a trial marriage is required in order to ensure that partners match each other sexually. The most surprising thing is that the need for such a test indicate not only a "cohabiting" couple, but also those who is legally married. This suggests that this aspect of marital life, along with psychological compatibility, begins to acquire mates of growing importance. In civil marriages are available and their psychological advantage. Unions are not burdened by a stamp in the passport, normally are not burdened and social stereotypes about family life.

In particular, they do not care about issues such as the traditional distribution of family roles, "the woman - a housewife, male - breadwinner" and focus on the fact that "the budget must be shared." Partners living together by mutual consent, do not worry about that "like all the relatives and spouses to support them mandatory in such a situation, relationships, etc. They offer a life together at their discretion, they are free from the usual for most families visiting the obligations relatives on holidays and weekends, so they can spend more time with each other and plan their free time in accordance with their own needs and interests.

Civil marriage is the most open experimentation and tvorchestvu.K example, a husband and wife are more easily agree on, other than in a traditional family roles: she - and the head of the family breadwinner, while he - a housewife and has full confidence in his wife making important decisions. They are not "tied" to each other by mutual obligations and can afford to spend their leisure time, including holidays, at its discretion. Another feature to the attention of the researchers, is that couples who live without official registration, more independent, to a lesser extent rely on help from their parents. It is possible that the point here is that regardless of whether the parents are looking at "illegal" connection between his children, contacts with them in such cases, all less than when a son or daughter is legally married.

At the same time often have to deal with what we call "not to wash dirty linen in public". Parents themselves are aware of an extramarital affair of his son (or daughter), put up or even completely happy with this circumstance, but from the immediate social environment - colleagues, neighbors, relatives - prefer to hide the fact, which does not fit into the norms and rules of good conduct. Talking about the future of trial marriages, about whether they have any prospects, researchers have come to a unanimous conclusion: this form of joint life, the perceived integration and the partners themselves, and society will be further disseminated.

It is promoted as the objective conditions related to the current social division of labor (higher than before the economic independence of most young people), earlier physical, including sexual, development, and the ongoing process of breaking up the strict framework of accepted sexual morality, the dominance of freedom in establishing non-marital sexual relations. Finally, an important role in the growth trial family units are psychological factors. A growing number of young people (and even their parents) find it necessary to pass in front of 'real' spouses probation in cohabitation - learn more about the nature and habits of each other, check your feelings, sexual compatibility. The belief that a marriage entered into after such a check, usually stronger, most respondents express young people of marriageable age.

In modern science, describes the characteristics of people who are prone to unregistered cohabitation. Generalized psychological portrait of this population is characterized by more liberal attitudes, lower religiosity, high androgens, low school success during childhood and adolescence, less social success, but as a rule, these people come from a very successful family. And yet we live among the people and should be considered with their views on family life. As pointed out in his time, Leo Tolstoy: "... goal is the lunch meals and purpose of marriage - the family." Complete a family in which confident and comfortable would feel both husband and wife and children.
