Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Studies of religious homogamy and marital quality have often referred to shared culture or value consensus in explaining the tendency for homogamous couples to exhibit higher levels of relationship stability than heterogamous mates. In particular, gender ideologies associated with religious beliefs have been considered as potentially important areas of marital consonance or dissonance. In this study, I examine more closely the processes by which convergent beliefs support relationship functioning and how, on the other hand, divergent beliefs impair it. Examining a sample of married and cohabiting couples with children from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, as well as interview data from the complementary Time, Love, and Cash among Couples with Children Study, I find that support levels are higher and conflict levels are lower when couples share expectations for household behavior. There is no evidence that couples clash with respect to more abstract beliefs about religion or gender.
