Some religions frown upon pre-marital sex and living together prior to marriage and divorce. There is nothing wrong with celebacy or traditional (old fashioned) values. Of course, you need to find a partner who shares the same values as you do. I wonder if the researchers took these factors into account.
I know three women who lived with men they were not married to. One wound up getting divorced after four years of marriage and a baby. The second broke up after less than a year of living together. She was glad that she had lived with him because she got to know him well enough to know that he wasn't "The One" and avoided a divorce. The third had been engaged for a year and had set a date before they moved in together. They were married three or four months later and still are with a baby.
