How do religion and family fit together today? This book examines how religious congregations in America have responded to changes in family structure, and how families participate in local religious life.

Edgell shows that mothers and fathers seek involvement in congregations for different reasons.

Although religion is an important influence on a variety of social attitudes, the relationship between religion and views on family planning remains underexplored, especially in terms of attitudes relating to public policy. Unlike most previous studies, we focus on religion and marital quality among 433 low-income married couples with co-residential minor children, using recently collected survey data on both spouses sampled in the Marital and Relationship Survey (MARS).
