"Also, unmarried couples who abstain from premarital sex are less likely to separate or divorce after marriage. Further, studies show that brides and grooms who have practiced chastity are less likely to have attitudes about marriage that contribute to adultery, divorce ,and lower satisfaction with a married partner. "
Yes, statistically, people who have sex before marriage do have a higher divorce rate. But this doesn't mean that if you're not a virgin you're doomed to a failed marriage. The cause of these divorces isn't the fornication itself, so much as the casual attitude held about intimacy and monogamous relationships by many of those who decide to be sexually active before marriage.
Hope that helps

Sex was created by God to be between only 2. Man and woman. Sex allows us to express our love and commitment to our spouse. Sex is much to casual in our culture. Sex is a means in which we reaffirm our commitment and promise to be faithful.
Sex can be very hurtful too. Fornication takes away the holiness of sex. When one has sex with another, they connect in a way that effects the body, mind and soul!! So many are living only to satisfy the body and mind that the soul is left to starve. The soul is what connects you to God and his greatness.
GOD CREATED SEX, AND WHEN DONE IN HIS WAY, IS AWESOME!

I don't see why it would. I think divorce more often occurs over issues of trust, honesty, money, etc than whether or not the parties were sexually active prior to marriage (with each other or anyone else).

You mean Fornication! I don't think that when you marry your past should afftect your present or your future happiness. But, however if you decide once married to commit adultery (meaning to have sex outside of marriage) then yes that will definitely affect your marriage!
