Delaying marriage and having multiple sexual partners can affect martial happiness

According to research, the number of premarital sexual partners can impact martial quality, particularly for women. Women who have had multiple sexual partners before marriage report lower quality unions compared to those who only slept with their eventual spouse. This finding has been consistent across multiple studies conducted over decades, suggesting a complex relationship between sexual history and martial happiness. While premarital sex with future spouses does not increase the likelihood of divorce, engaging in sexual activity with others does. Men, however, do not seem to be affected in the same way as women by their sexual history. These findings highlight the importance of sexual experience in understanding relationship dynamics, particularly in the modern dating landscape.
