Religious participation is linked to overall satisfaction among both married and unmarried couples in urban America. Less is known about what may account for the association between religious participation and relationship quality. We explore this issue using data from the first two waves of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. Relationship-related behaviors (e.g., temperance) and relationship-specific behaviors (e.g., affection) can each account for the association between church attendance and relationship quality. Furthermore, religious participation appears to be more tightly linked to men's perceptions of relationship quality than women's.
在美国城市地区,宗教参与与已婚和未婚伴侣的总体满意度相关。关于宗教参与与关系质量之间的关联原因,人们了解得较少。我们利用脆弱家庭与儿童福利研究前两波的数据来探讨这个问题。与关系相关的行为(如节制)和特定于关系的行为(如爱意)都可以解释教堂礼拜出席与关系质量之间的关联。此外,宗教参与似乎与男性对关系质量的认知比与女性的认知联系更为紧密。
