LONG-TERM cohabitation does not provide the stability of marriage, says the Mothers’ Union (MU), in response to the latest findings of the British Social Attitudes survey.The survey, published last week, suggested that two-thirds (66 per cent) of people believed there was little difference socially between being married and living together. Seven in ten of those questioned thought there was nothing wrong with sex before marriage, compared with nearly five in ten (48 per cent) in 1984. Only about one in four (28 per cent) thought married couples made better parents than unmarried ones.
