Recently it was discussed that pre 1960s people didn't sleep around too much so when people got married they usually stayed married. There are alot of factors that kept divorce low; religious beliefs discouraged people from divorcing, women were still fighting for equal footing in society, and it was not the popular thing to do. However, another possible reason could be that people did not thing it was proper to sleep around and perhaps some even saved themselves for marriage. Therefore when the weeding night rolled around, what they were experiencing was the greatest thing ever.
Fast forward to present day and divorce rates are hovering around 50%. Is it possible that when people get married they find it difficult to remain committed to one individual and resist the urge to have sex with someone else? It's definitely possible, how much is it a contributing factor to the divorce rate is impossible to know.
So should we go back to the the days of our grandparents and save ourselves? The choice is yours, but I know which way I'm going(gone). I think its best to work your desires out of your system as best as you can before (if you) you decide to get married. A wise person once said "its better to test drive the car before you buy it."
