.- A new study revealed that religious unions are slightly less likely to end in divorce. Because religion encourages less coexistence, which is a risk factor for divorce.
Research from the Institute of Family Studies suggests that religious marriages are less likely to end in divorce compared to non-religious ones because religion does not encourage cohabitation. A risk factor for divorce, among other things.
The research analyzed data from the National Survey of Family Growth of 53,000 women ages 15 to 49 between 1995 and 2019. And it found that age at marriage is also a risk factor for divorce, the Christian Post reports.
However, depending on when a woman marries, religion may sometimes have no impact on the outcome of a marriage.
The research showed that for religious women, the annual divorce rate was 4.5%, compared to 5% for non-religious women.
The difference was more evident between Catholic and traditional Protestant women, but less evident among evangelical Protestant women.
The researchers also found that when women go from being single to being married without cohabiting first, they tend to have lower divorce rates than women of the same religious background and age but married after cohabiting.
