The odds of divorce are lowest with zero or one premarital partners.
Makes sense to me. Those people are either the least interested in pursuing sexual relationships solely for pleasure or the least able to do so, so might feel more compelled to stick with a marriage that isn't 100% as they either won't be doing it for sex or might feel unable to find someone else.
However, I think the more interesting thing to research would be links between perimarital sex and marriage stability :-D
- friendly_chap 8y agoHow do you explain then the increase of premarital sexual encounters over time?
- CardenB 8y agoThis is mostly because low divorce rates as well as virgin marriages are both highly correlated with religion, which is explained in the article.
