LDS: High family satisfaction, conservative gender roles

A national Pew survey finds Latter‑day Saints report among the highest levels of satisfaction with family life (about 7 in 10 rate it very good/excellent), maintain strong communal practices (religious activities with children, family nights) and favor traditional gender roles. Marriage rates remain fairly steady over decades, but the share with children at home has fallen in line with national trends. — Because Latter‑day Saints are a cohesive, politically relevant religious bloc, these social attitudes shape local politics, party coalitions and policy debates on family, education and gender.
