When you are in a relationship one need wait longer period of time to enjoy the pleasures of sex until they are married, have heart as the wait was worth it! As per study, people who wait and control their desire to have sex with your partner before tying the knot are more likely to see higher levels of marital quality.

Psychologists Galena K. Rhoades and Scott M. Stanley associated with the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia said,"Forty-two percent of those who said their relationship did not begin as a 'hook-up' were most satisfied on marital quality,"

They conducted research and found out that participants who started their relationship with "hook-up" were less likely to have a higher quality marriage.

The study was conducted over 1,000 Americans between 2007 and 2008 who were unmarried but in a relationship with someone of the opposite sex and between the ages of 18 and 34. The authors also found that the majority of them had sex before marriage with multiple partners.

"But those few individuals who abstained reported a better quality of marriage than people who had multiple sexual partners," the authors concluded.
