Description :
Using data from the 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households, the paper studies the role of the religious composition of unions as a determinant of marital stability. Stability is found to be remarkably similar across the various types of homogamous unions. Religious compatibility between spouses at the time of marriage has a large influence on marital stability.
