Couples who live together before marriage have a problem with their sex life

Many couples are choosing coexistence as a first test before the big step! Unlike previous traditions when the couple waited until their wedding night to sleep together or live as a couple, things have changed markedly today!

Some marriage experts applaud this trend as a healthy step before marriage! In reality, though, all of this may not be wonderful for your sexual life.

A recent study published in the “The Journal of Sex Research” found that couples who lived together before marrying had fewer sex in the first year of marriage and lower levels of sexual pleasure in general than those who did not.

The study, consisting of 113 couples, traced sexual pleasure levels during the first four years of marriage and looked at factors that could affect a couple's sex life, such as living together and having children before marriage.

On average, couples were in their late 20s and came from a mixture of racial and ethnic backgrounds.

In addition to the fact that couples who lived together before marriage reported having sex with less rare and lower quality, data also revealed that dating for a longer period of time - usually a year or more - was linked to sex in the first year of marriage.

The difference in the frequency of sex among people who stay together longer or shorter after four years of marriage. And for couples who had children before separation, the fourth year of marriage marked the time when they started having sex more often than those who did not have children before marriage.

According to the authors of the study, further research should be done to understand better how a couple's sexual relationship changes in their early years and how these changes can lead to divorced couples.
