               Studies show… kids in cohabitating households can have more problems
               than kids whose parents are single or married:


               Kids of cohabitating parents are
               Twice as likely to:
                   •  drop out of high school
                   •  use drugs
                   •  end up depressed
               Three times more likely to be:
                   •  Physically, sexually or emotionally abused

               It’s important to introduce kids to new partners and help them develop a

               relationship before moving in together. Each time you change partners, you
               child goes through a loss and a mini crisis. For kids it can be like going
               through a divorce all over again.
