I think that's one reason so many marriages end in failure now a days. Folks have sex too soon. They get married for all the wrong reasons and when the sex frenzy fades (and it will), it's too late to discover there is nothing else.

If the relationship was meant to be - he and/she will wait for sex. Can't beat developing a solid friendship beforehand, making sure this potential life partner matches up morally, spiriturally and then physically.
No kidding! I have a friend who contends that there's a hormone released the first (and only the first) time a couple has sex. The effects last about three months. Thus so many break-ups at 3-4 months. It's certainly been true for me in the past, although I'm so stubborn that I dragged the relationships on for years! I've done my "crazy in love" time, and it never ended well. The high was seldom worth the lows. That said, I have a 27 year old who keeps writing me...? Dude? You got it that I'm 45? I'm enjoying the cyber attention, anyway.
