  • Title: Religious homogamy and marital duration among those who file for divorce in California, 1966-1971.
    Author: Maneker JS, Rankin RP.
    Journal: J Divorce Remarriage; 1993; 19(1-2):233-47. PubMed ID: 12179706.
    Abstract:
    The hypothesis that having a common religion is associated with more stable marriages is tested using California data on divorce for the period 1966-1971. The results confirm the hypothesis, and the authors note that "religious homogamy among Jewish couples is associated with longer [marriage] duration than any other group. Couples who report no religious affiliation appear to be at greatest risk of early filing for divorce. The religious groupings include the Jewish, the Conservative Protestant, the Liberal Protestant, the Roman Catholic and those with no religious affiliation."
