This study examines open-ended reports of 1, individuals' dating, cohabiting, and married relationship concerns using a detailed, reliable coding system. The top 5 areas considered most problematic by cohabiting individuals were problems in specific areas of their current relationship, individual problems, general communication, arguments, and emotional affection-distance.
Dating and cohabiting individuals reported similar frequencies of global problems except that cohabiting individuals reported more problems with arguments and fewer problems with relationship commitment. Married and cohabiting individuals had more differences in their reports of relationship concerns; results suggested that cohabiting relationships tended to be both more vibrant and more volatile than marital relationships.
However, most differences between relationship types were no longer significant after controlling for individuals' relationship and demographic characteristics. Metrics 9 Record Views.
