A recent study conducted by Dean Busby of Brigham Young University's School of Family Life suggests that delaying sex in the early stages of a relationships leads to a more stable relationship later on.
According to the study couples who had sex in the early stages of a relationship, within the first month were most likely to have the worst outcomes.
An interesting fact from the study reveals almost 40 percent of couples are sexually active within the first two dates, however those couples that wait to be sexual have the time to work out how much they trust their partner and asses other character qualities without the hazard of early sexual activity clouding their decision making abilities.
Compared with those in the early sex group, those who waited until marriage:.
Rated their relationship stability 22 percent higher
Rated relationship satisfaction 20 percent higher
Rated the quality of sex 15 percent better
Rated the quality of sex 15 percent better
Rated communication between the couples 12 percent better
