Patterns of partner choice can illuminate the relationship between cohabitation and marriage. If cohabitations are "informal marriages," partner choice in cohabitations should resemble partner choice In marriages. However, if cohabitation is a distinct relationship, a "looser bond, " then partner choice in cohabitations should give li1OI-C emphasis to short-term and achieved characteristics (such as education) and less emphasis to long-term and ascribed characteristics (such as age, religion ,and race). Data from the National Survey of Families and Households are used to examine partner choice in both cohabitations and marriages. The results support the "looser bond" view of cohabitation as a distinct type of relationship. Compared to recently married persons, cohabitors show both a greater propensity to choose a partner with the "same education and a lesser propensity to choose a partner with the same age or religion.
