How Religiosity and Ethnicity Affect Marital Satisfaction for Jewish-Christian Couples.

Sussman, Lynn M.; Alexander, Charlene M.

Journal of Mental Health Counseling, v21 n2 p173-85 Apr 1999

Examines the relationship between religiosity, ethnic identity, and other-group orientation on marital satisfaction in Jewish-Christian couples. Significant relationships were found between husbands' and wives' religiosity, ethnic identity, and Dyadic Adjustment Scale scores. Additionally, parental involvement in daily life and other family members' interfaith marriages were correlated with husbands' but not wives' marital satisfaction. (Author/GCP)
