Summary
A study by the Institute for Family Studies found that married couples who regularly attend church report more frequent sex and greater sexual satisfaction than those who attend less often or not at all. Researchers analyzed data from multiple surveys, including the 2026 IFS Religion and Family Survey, the General Social Survey, and a survey of FOCUS alumni. Regular churchgoers, especially Catholics, reported higher sexual frequency and satisfaction. The study noted that the association remained after accounting for demographic differences. However, the research was observational and could not determine causation. The study was funded by FOCUS, a Catholic campus ministry.
