Will having premarital sex increase your odds of divorce?

If you’re a woman who has been warned that sexual promiscuity will ruin your life, a new analysis from the conservative-leaning Institute for Family Studies (IFS), of all places, undermines that notion.

The research, conducted by University of Utah family studies professor Nicholas H. Wolfinger, found that the five-year divorce rate for women who had 10 or more sexual partners before getting married in the 2000s (33 percent) was not statistically significantly higher than the rate for women who had two premarital partners (30 percent).
