    Religious Couples Have Happier Marriages

    The report, a joint project of the Institute for Family Studies and the Wheatley Institution, uses data from two surveys of respondents in eleven countries: Argentina, Australia, Chile, Canada, Colombia, France, Ireland, Mexico, Peru, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The authors set out to examine the now standard bromide that progressive, secular social values lead to happier marriages.

    As study authors W. Bradford Wilcox, Jason S. Carroll, and Laurie DeRose wrote in the New York Times, the recipe for a happy marriage is either being religious or being egalitarian—those stuck in the middle are consistently the worst off.

    To reach this result, the study's authors looked at roughly 5,000 couples surveyed in the Global Family and Gender Survey (GFGS). Based on frequency of religious attendance, these couples were classified as either secular, religious, or mixed. What the survey data show is that high religious couples report higher rates of marital and sexual satisfaction than their mixed or secular peers.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Trump voters are losers:

      Those who lose out, in terms of marital happiness, are those who neither share labor within the marriage nor with a larger community. This is the group of Americans whose lives Washington Examiner editor Timothy P. Carney recently covered in his book Alienated America. Carney argues that left-behind Americans—like the millions who put Donald Trump in the White House—suffer from a lack of social capital, brought on by a decline of religious community.

        It took all of two responses before someone started whining about Trump. Someone obviously dropped the ball here.

          I agree that Trump infects everything, even this good news.

              My dear friend firstfloor - it is usual and customary, when providing a "quote", however deranged it may be, to also supply a source. Food for thought, you know.

                  Ah, so my dear friend could have included a note such as "from the article in the OP...." I think he enjoys being rather cryptic at times.

                  It's a tactic I see some use here when they want to claim "That's not what I was arguing!"

                        It was one of the rare ‘open goals’ that even firstfloor could not miss.

                          Only for those in the throes of TDS. For everyone else he isn't all-consuming and we can go for days and even longer not thinking about him unless someone else brings him up.
