In the Czech Republic, the context for starting a family has changed dramatically since the fall of communism in late 1989. Fewer Czechs are getting married, and if they do, they do so at a later age. Cohabitation has become a long-term household arrangement in which children are raised. Today, marriage is not the only socially acceptable form of a shared life among Czech couples. In addition, views about cohabitation, marriage and when is the right time for marriage had become more variable.
