On the other hand, old people who have lived most of their lives are set in their habits and therefore have far more difficulty adapting themselves to a new marriage than young people.

Many elderly people choose cohabitation to avoid opposition from their adult children. A remarriage between two old people causes many sensitive issues.

Cohabitation among elderly people is becoming more common in Chinese society.

Consequently, cohabitation becomes an acceptable halfway relationship, which can be dissolved more easily than a marriage.

It is a complicated issue.

I have an idea I want to test, for combining old peoples' homes and orphanages. Old people are lonely without children, children are lonely without parents. Why not bring them together?
