| Summary: | The period 1976 to 1996 was a period of rapid transition for religious institutions which was marked by decline in attendance at religious services. This paper addresses the issues related to cohabitation of couples prior to marriage and its affect on patterns of religious attendance at Christian churches in Australia. In particular it analyzes how patterns of partnering have changed during this period by comparing patterns of religious attendance of couples in the Australian Family Formation Project, a longitudinal study conducted 1981-1991 by the Australian Institute of Family Studies in Melbourne, Australia |
