在美国，已婚人士在各种幸福指标上的结果都比单身人士好。参加宗教活动的人相对于没有宗教信仰的人表现出类似的优势。本文对婚姻和宗教这两种社会制度进行了比较分析。对宗教参与和结婚如何影响一系列儿童和成人结果的文献进行了严格审查，提供了普遍积极影响的证据。宗教和婚姻对生活的许多相同领域都有影响，它们发挥影响的机制有着显著的相似之处。
In the United States, married people have better outcomes on a variety of measures of wellbeing than do single persons. People who participate in religious activities show similar advantages relative to those who have no religious involvement. This article presents a comparative analysis of these two social institutions: marriage and religion. A critical review of the literature on how religious involvement and being married affect a range of child and adult outcomes provides evidence of generally positive effects. Religion and marriage have an impact on many of the same domains of life, and there are remarkable similarities in the mechanisms through which they exert an influence.
