God Loves Me, Too

[John V]

My boss tries to tell me that people who have premarital sex/relationships are less likely to stay together if those relationships go long term rather than immediately getting married.

He's right and wrong. Studies show that:
- cohabitation before marriage is associated with higher divorce rates
- female promiscuity before marriage is associated with higher divorce rates
- female having premarital sex solely with her future husband and not cohabiting is not associated with higher divorce rates

Hilarity, because he's a Christian too - practically bible thumping. Why is it only the more deeply religious who say this? Correlation. Correlation.

Research says it. The NY Times doesn't thump Bibles, yet:

That's just one example. Doesn't take long with Google to find more.

Again, John, I won't repeat all the things Festive has said,

Good call, as her arguments bombed.

but your values betray you as you imply...

No, you infer. Please don't speak for me - quote what I said if you want to discuss it.
