Contra Rob McNiff, Hemant Mehta defends cohabitation before marriage:
McNiff is fixated on this idea that the only thing that binds cohabitators together is sex. If that’s the only reason people lived together — so they could sleep with each other every night — maybe there’d be something to what he’s saying.

They were people committed to each other for reasons extending far beyond something physical.
