This dissertation employed two different frameworks to investigate the effects that cohabitation and finances have on young adult couples' relationships using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) and the Marriage Matters Panel Survey of Newlywed Couples, Louisiana. Understanding young adults' financial and relationship characteristics and outcomes is increasingly important for the financial planning profession given the shift towards holistic financial planning. Cohabitation has been increasing each decade while research indicates it to have drastic financial and relational consequences. It is important to understand how cohabitation impacts young adults' financial and relational lives.
