Marriage and Religiousness

Mahoney, Pargament, Tarakeshwar and Swank (2001) stated that many married men in the United States believe religion and spirituality are important elements of daily living. Research on the role of religious beliefs in the function of marriage has been studied, but past psychologists have ignored this field (Baucom, 2001).

By allowing elderly people to practice polygamy, the nature of traditional American marriage will gradually disappear as many people begin adopting customs in other countries. People who choose to practice polygamy not only practice ceremonies that are not their own, but also criminal offenses.
