[QUOTE="tall73, post: 73954864, member: 125574"] Additionally, the number of sexual partners impacts relational and marital happiness. This continues to be the case, even over the decades of changing sexual attitudes. [URL='https://ifstudies.org/blog/counterintuitive-trends-in-the-link-between-premarital-sex-and-marital-stability']Counterintuitive Trends in the Link Between Premarital Sex and Marital Stability[/URL] This discussion of the trends and possible reasons is based on the CDC National Survey of Family Growth: [URL='https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsfg/nsfg_products.htm']NSFG - Publications and Information Products[/URL] The discussion notes: [COLOR=#006633] For all three cohorts, women who married as virgins had the lowest divorce rates by far. Eleven percent of virgin marriages (on the part of the woman, at least) in the 1980s dissolved within five years. This number fell to 8 percent in the 1990s, then fell again to 6 percent in the 2000s. For all three decades, the women with the second lowest five-year divorce rates are those who had only one partner prior to marriage. It’s reasonable to assume that these partners reflected women’s eventual husbands. Even so, premarital sex with one partner substantially increases the odds of divorce.
