That is, of course, extreme, but the power of self doubt and negativity can really be amplified early in relationships. I'm feeling it rather strongly right now. If I looked objectively at everything, it is fine, I just need to chill a little (not my strength), but that damn brain interferes.
Another high quality, well controlled, most likely unbiased and conclusive study to take as social fact! YAY.
Hmm...
"The study also found that couples who had more than 150 guests at their ceremony had the greatest marital quality down the line."
So, if you want a happy marriage, make sure the woman is a virgin and invite EVERYONE. (Just because it proved statistically so for a sample size of 418 women).
It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that women are still overall shamed for sexual activity more than men, therefore those who've been with a lot of people may have more self-esteem issues.

Sure, but you have to admit that we see the same post again and again.
I'll cut and paste first couple of paragraphs that says the main point.
"Women who have several sexual partners before getting married have less happy marriages - but men do no harm by playing the field,a study has found.
According to new research by the National Marriage Project, more than half of married women who had only ever slept with their future husband felt highly satisfied in their marriage.
But that percentage dropped to 42 per cent once the woman had had pre-marital sex with at least two partners. It dropped to 22 per cent for those with ten or more partners.
But, for men, the number of partners a man they appeared to have no bearing on how satisfied they felt within a marriage."
Why do you think this is? I think its because of sexual satisfaction and how men are relatively easily satisfied but women have a harder time being satisfied. Basically men are for the most part monorgasmic but a man will almost always orgasm. Women on the other hand range from having no orgasms ever to multiple orgasms that men can only dream about.
[Mod cut: not PG-13]
So when a woman has 10, 20, 40 men before marrying chances are pretty low that her husband is going to be the best she has ever had. She is going to remember Mr. Orgasm and know how much better sex can be and has been. Now for the husband who always gets his orgasm with any woman he has been with its not nearly as big of a deal.
That is my take on this story at least.
I don't buy any of it.
Most of the women I know (myself included) aren't comparing their husbands to men they used to have sex with because they wouldn't have married their husbands unless they thought sex with their husbands was at the very least good enough to keep them satisfied.
Now, would a woman start doing that if other things were wrong in the marriage and it was really in trouble? MAYBE. But, those women are already unhappy and are probably thinking of a variety of other things that were happier for them in other relationships anyway.
