Cohabitation, or living together in a romantic relationship without being married, has become a normative part of modern dating and relationship dynamics. According to the US Census Bureau, over 7 million couples cohabitate in the United States alone. Despite its growing prevalence, cohabitation remains a relatively understudied topic in the field of relationship science. This paper aims to contribute to the existing literature by exploring the experiences of Malena Morgan and Sammie Rho, a cohabiting couple who have been together for several years.
