Less fucking around:
The report found that those who had fewer romantic relationships prior to tying the knot were more likely to find their everlasting love and happy ending.
The researchers also found that people who had children from prior relationships tended to struggle more with their marriage.

The author also said couples were more likely to be happier when they made deliberate choices about how the relationship should progress such as deciding to live together before marriage rather than waiting until after the big day.
Having many friends verify they are not insane:
They found that among couples with 150 or more guests at their wedding, 47 per cent reported having a high quality marriage in the years that followed. But only 31 per cent of couples with weddings attended by 50 or fewer people said they were happily married later on. Couples that held medium-sized weddings, 51 to 149 guests, were not much better with only 37 per cent reporting that they had a marriage they felt would last the distance.
