Abstract

Rao & DeMaris (1995) suggest that when age is controlled, cohabiting partners have higher coital rates than married partners. Their sample was restricted to couples whose relationships were of 5 years' duration or less. This restriction, according to the authors 'circumvents the confounding problem of age with duration of relationship'.
