Discussion
Evidence?
several studies have been done, however this is the first result from the google machine:

This doesn’t necessarily prove that waiting for marriage makes sex better. Delaying sex makes people value it more. This is just human nature. The longer and more difficult it is to earn something, the more we value it. Getting a car for free and working your ass off to buy one 6 months later are two completely different experiences.
right. i did say it makes for better "sex lives" anf not necessarily better sex. It would be difficult to scientifically rate something so subjective, but i guess I was specufically focusing on quantity, which is actually measurable.
Oh I know I’m just saying it’s not the marriage that makes it a better sex life but the delay of sex. If two people agreed not to have sex until they were ready to commit for life and move in together, their sex life wouldn’t be any worse than a couple that got a government approved piece of paper saying they’re married. If anything I’d argue the former couple would have a better sex life because both individuals don’t feel any compulsion to remain in the relationship. They are choosing to be with that person every day because it is genuinely what they want. It’s a much better feeling knowing that your partner can leave you but chooses to be with you than knowing your partner may leave you if it weren’t for this contract.
