The question is "Do the chances of a successful marriageactually improve by cohabiting?" And I think her answer is NO, she used many reports which show that cohabitation can suppress the development of a high level of commitment. People select cohabitation may end up no happy ending because their relation without any pressure to move on and make a real commitment.
2.
The cohabiting couples lack both specialization and commitment in their relationship. They live more financially and emotionally independent of one another to allow themselves the freedom to leave. This often results in less monogamous, short-term relationship. They find it much harder to trust each other financially without any legal bond.
Married couples specialize. They pool their money, time, and other resources, creating a higher quality lifestyle. They have more invested in their relationship and think longer before acting on their impulses and stepping outside of the relationship.

I think Leigh dose not prefer cohabiting since he pointed out those disadvantages of cohabiting. I think she encourage people choose marriage; try to responsible for every choice they made and try hard to make the marriage work out.
4.
I think the works cited are sufficient. They show the sources those were used in this research paper. However, I think as a research paper, it should have more sources.
5.
I think she can point out another advantage like Hospital Visitation. Also Gay people's marriage should be discussed since gay marriage are not allowed in many countries. These people can only choose cohabiting because they don't have the right to get married legally.

chapter 5 - Living on Tokyo Time
1.
I think he uses many examples in Japaneses' daily live. And those examples are those phenomenons we can easily connect to Japanese, such like work 10 hours a day, rarely take any vacation. Busy may be the perfect description for Japanese.
2.
the question is ""Why doesn't this cradle- to-grave, manic schedule bother them?" i think the answer is that Japanese are born with the character like obligation, respect the elder. They always follow rules and traditions. I think they prefer their live with orders and rules.
3.
I think the Japanese think that when they are doing their jobs; their time belong their company and their boss. I saw a movie talks about differences between american and Japanese labor. For example, Japanese won't ask extra salary for overtime working. But American cares about their salary and always ask about bonus. They think their time are precious. Their time are bought by the company; those time deserve high value.
4.
Butler prefers the American way of lifestyle. We can tall from how he describe Japanese lifestyle. He think if he lived the way like that; he would probably choose suicide. And he wrote about he would not trade his precious time for those convenient transportation.
5.
In paragraph 3, he wrote about American think that they trade their time for a steady salary which makes them felt their time are stolen. That shows American think time are their own properties.
