A seperate verbal phrase
Augustus' crusade for moral regeneration satisfied those who feared that evil would come with abandoned religious traditions. Many females continued to grow up patriotically and dutifully moral, and virginity before marriage continued to be seen as highly desirable and moral. But his moral crusade was hardly a success in changing behavior. Married men continued to look other than to their wives for sexual passion.

I think "to" after "than" should be moved to after "look" because elements in a verbal phrase have strong bond among them.
And I'd like to know if my thought is right.

park sang joonMarried men continued to look other than to their wives for sexual passion.I differ from the others on this one. Actually, this reads OK to me, while "continued to look to other than their wives for sexual passion" does not.
