The major focus of this paper was on the implications of recent changes in social-sexual practices on marriage rates. Questionnaire data on interpersonal feelings and social background variables were obtained from 31 going-together couples and 18 living-together couples, all of whom were, of course, unmarried. It was found that the going-together couples held traditional orientations toward each other with commitment to marriage forming a strong part of this orientation. The living-together couples appeared to come to their arrangement with varied expectations. The living-together women appeared to desire security in marriage, whereas the men indicated that the arrangement was more likely to be an alternative to marriage. Of further interest was the finding that going-together couples evidenced greater reciprocity of other important feelings than that found for living-together couples. The effects on marriage rates for living-together couples were seen to depend upon which of the partner's positions prevailed.
