Dear Queenie,
My daughters are going into their teens and I have to talk to them about dating and sex and things like that.
Queenie, my question is: what do I tell them about people living together without being married?—Worried mother
Dear Mother,
That depends on whether the two people are planning on getting married and on how much education they have.
Research indicates that the more education they have, the more stable their relationship will be.
Also, especially a girl should have completed her education and be able to support herself before she decides to live with a man, especially without marriage. That way, if the relationship does not work out she will not feel bound to stay with him for fear of not being able to make it alone.
