Transcendent Matters: Family Relationships Associated With How One Experiences God, Hilary Dalton
Transcendent Matters: Family Relationships Associated With How One Experiences God, Hilary Dalton
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
For religious families, an important but understudied aspect of spirituality is

A sample of 180 students from three universities completed self-report questionnaires measuring various attitudes toward aspects of marriage and family life. The results indicated that parental divorce alone was not a significant predictor (p.≤.05) of young adults' attitudes toward marriage and family life. The one difference found was that young adults' coming from divorced families-of-origin were less attracted to the idea of commitment and sacrifice involved in a marriage …
