Study: Happy husband in bed 83% less likely to divorce!
Does the frequency of sex and how happy a couple is with their sex life reduce the chance of them getting divorced? The obvious answer seems to be yes, but according to Kristina Dzara at Southern Illinois University it really hasn’t been studied very much.
So to examine how sex life affects the success rate of marriage, Dzara used the Marriage Matters Panel Survey of Newly Wed Couples that followed over 1000 couples in Louisiana from 1998 to 2004. The average age of the wives in this study was 28 and the average age for men was 30 years.
They looked at three aspects in the first three to six months of marriage: frequency of sexual intercourse, sexual satisfaction, and agreement between spouses about their sex life.
She used these measures to predict if they would be divorced by their fifth year of marriage. (For more on the controls and limitations (such as that all the participants were from one state) of the experiment read the link.)
