Abstract
This paper addresses the sex differences in cohabiters’ marriage preferences, which

have received very little attention in the family literature. According to Norwegian

survey data from 1996, cohabiting men are more hesitant to marry than cohabiting

women. For example, childless male cohabiters are more worried than their female

partner that another lifestyle will be expected after a marriage, and they voice more

doubt about the value of the relationship. This could mean that the men generally are

more individualistically oriented and therefore more attracted to single life than the

women. In-depth interviews support this, and also suggest that men are less willing to yield to a normative pressure to marry. On the other hand, women were more concerned with the costs of the wedding.
