Mormon University Study Supports Christ’s Teaching on Abstinence Before Marriage

A recent study by Brigham Young University, the largest private university in the United States, recently released revealing information about human sexuality verifying attitudes and practices that lead to happier and more stable marriages.

The results were reported in the Journal of Family Psychology and in Australian publications and web sites.

In an on-line survey of over two thousand married couples in the United States, it was revealed that those who waited until they were married before engaging in intimate relations, rated the stability of their relationships 22 percent higher than those who did not.
