“…These mechanisms are often reinforced via participation in religious congregations where guidance on improving spousal relationships and resolving marital conflict is sometimes given to individuals through seminars and pastoral counseling (Ellison, Bartkowski, and Anderson ). Finally, religion serves as a source of social control, proscribing unacceptable behaviors that are detrimental to family solidarity and marital communication (Cornwall ). Based on these ideas and empirical evidence, we expect that individuals with greater religiosity are less likely to endorse intimate partner violence.…”

Does religion justify violent acts against wives, or does it reduce approval of this type of intimate partner violence? We examine whether personal religiosity raises or lowers the acceptability of wife-beating. In addition, we investigate how the relationship between personal religiosity and attitudes toward wife-beating differs depending on the overall normative context of the country where a person lives. Using multilevel modeling with data from the fifth wave of the World Values Survey (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008), we find that greater individual-level religiosity reduces the acceptability of wife-beating. More importantly, cross-level interactions show that these reductions are greatest in countries where there is a general lack of normative restraint as measured by the "anomie" scale. These observations suggest that religiosity may influence an individual's norms the most in countries where secular controls are absent or weak.

“…Religious communities may also provide support and assistance to families in need or that experience problematic family relationships, such as by offering marital counseling (Chatters & Taylor, ). Both the social control and social support functions of religion (D'Antonio, Newman, & Wright, ) are conducive to family solidarity (Cornwall, ). Families that have experienced a divorce or separation, however, may encounter a certain amount of stigma that may limit support from church members (Taylor & Chatters, ).…”

This study used data from Add Health to examine the relationship between shared participation in religious activities and positive stepfamily functioning as indicated by the closeness of the stepfather–stepchild bond, the closeness of the mother–child bond, the quality of the mother–stepfather relationship, the adolescent's perception of family belonging, and the stability of the mother–stepfather marriage. The study incorporated information on shared religious participation between adolescents and their mothers and stepfathers by examining whether adolescents reported frequently attending religious services or church‐related events with both parents, with one parent, or with neither parent. Shared religious attendance was positively associated with several aspects of stepfamily functioning above and beyond the positive association of family members’ engagement in other types of shared activities.
