There is a scientific study by the National Marriage project that shows that the more partners people have, especially women, the more unhappy you will be when you get married. This study can be found here: http://nationalmarriageproject.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/NMP-BeforeIDoReport-Final.pdf

"especially women", huh ? Of course. Sounds like they have an agenda for maintaining the traditional double standard. Now that marriage equality is the law of the land, has the "National Marriage Project" done any recent scientific studies ?

Have you read the study?

I wanted to know who the National Marriage Project was first, so I read about them.

It also says that cohabitation with a previous partner that occurred before marriage and previous marriages also account for that. It also relied on self reporting, from what I can tell, which is not particularly reliable.
