Your Son, Damian, Wants to Move in with His Girlfriend

Essay

Your son, Damian, wants to move in with his girlfriend so that they can see if they are compatible enough to commit to a permanent relationship. Without being critical of his choice, explain to Damian what you have learned from the research on cohabitation about the idea of "checking out the situation before making things permanent." Offer Damian some specific methods he and his girlfriend can use to get some assurance that each is "the one" without moving in together.
