The article investigates the differences between marriage and cohabitation and concentrates on the question of financial transfers. It is hypothesized that cohabitation does not protect investments into partnership, and it should be therefore more egalitarian. This is not confirmed by the data. Even though cohabitation is a departure from the traditional family pattern, it is a departure in the direction of the female breadwinner. This is compensated by greater participation of men in the household chores.
