The SWS survey also found out that 50 percent of the respondents disapproved cohabitation. Those who are in favor stated that it is good for a couple to live together first in order to better know their partners. Meanwhile the Roman Catholic church – the major religion in the Philippines – strictly prohibits it as they claim that marriage is sacred and should be preserved.
