Married couples who regularly attend church report more frequent sex and greater sexual satisfaction, according to research from the Institute for Family Studies.

Researchers at the Institute for Family Studies in Charlottesville, Virginia have analysed findings from multiple datasets to examine the relationship between religious attendance and marital intimacy. The analysis found that married couples who regularly attend church report having more frequent sex and greater sexual satisfaction than those who attend less often or do not attend at all.

The findings come from the institute's Religion and Family Survey and other datasets. The research suggests a correlation between regular church attendance and reported improvements in sexual frequency and satisfaction among married couples.
