Did you ever hear that 85% of statistics are made up on the spot?
Anyway...the connection between premarital sex and marriage survival is a correlation, not a causal relationship. Basically, those who wait are typically more conservative and less likely to consider divorce as an option...those who don't are possibly more likely to be okay with divorce--hence the connection.
I know this isn't true with everyone, so please. No nit-picking.
