Report: Religious Couples Have Happier Marriages
(Worthy News) – Both religion and egalitarianism have something to offer those seeking a happy marriage in a world of shifting mores—though religion leads to more children—a new report on international perspectives on marital happiness shows.

The authors set out to examine the now standard bromide that progressive, secular social values lead to happier marriages.
