A new study of prayer and romantic involvement…. Read on

Sarah Tyson of East Carolina University and her colleagues analyzed data from a 76 item survey on “Prayer and Romantic Involvement” completed by 286 respondents. Results revealed that undergraduates who prayed more frequently were more likely to require that a person they dated not only would pray themselves but also pray with the respondent. Frequency of respondents’ praying habits was also positively correlated with requiring that a future mate pray. In addition, those who prayed more often were more likely to have prayed to find a mate and prayed for help in resolving relationship problems with a mate.  If you pray, your soulmate is more likely to be one who prays with you.  See Right Mate for other qualities one seeks in a mate.
