"Couples who don't have sex before marriage are happier."

In a study performed by Brigham Young University School of Family Life, a group of over 2,000 married couples were questioned about their relationships, and the impact of sex in their marriages.  It was found that those who waited to have sex until after they were married had stronger, healthier marriages for a number of reasons.  Satisfaction of their relationships, communication strengths, and sexual intimacy improved compared to those that participated in pre marital sex.  What I found most interesting about his study, was that communication skills between spouses who waited to have sex before marriage were better than those who didn't.  The study talked about how sex is a form of communication, and those that waited to have sex were better at communicating because by not having sex, they found other ways to communicate with each other.  This caused them to be better communicators.  In response to the study performed, many readers have said that this study is biased, because it was performed by a University supported by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  How do you feel about this study?  What do you think about sex before marriage?  Do you think that relationships are stronger and healthier when sex is something that happens after marriage?

Family Relations

This semester, I have started taking a class about Family Relations.  I am excited to share with you all of my findings, and the things that I learn and adapt to my life.  I hope that we will enjoy the things that I share, and incorporate them into your life as well!
