What is sad that you don't even grasp how dumb you read.

"Wives in marriages in which both spouses had a strong commitment to the institution of marriage tended to report greater marital satisfaction."

People who have a strong commitment to anything tend to have greater satisfaction it. That's why individuals specialize in what they enjoy doing; it is an innate human quality.

And I wonder why she emphasizes the wife's marital satisfaction and not the husband's. It could be that this video is targeted for women. Not sure.

I'm not even sure why they mention religion. The marriage studies have nothing to do with religion or religious activity.

Pay close attention to the words she says: "Spouses who attended religious services together on a weekly basis reported on average higher levels of happiness in their marriages."

"Spending leisure time with a spouse and receiving pre-marital counseling enhances marital quality."

Attending religious services together is just a form of spending leisure time with a spouse.
