| Summary: | The marriage ceremony raises for the new husband and wife, who are church members, a decision on family membership in a congregation. Decisions made at this point of the family cycle by members of the Disciples of Christ show: (1) husbands are more influential than wives; (2) church doctrine which is liberal influences the decision to leave a congregation while conservative theology influences the decision to join a church; (3) theology is more influential than social class in determining the choice of a church; (4) sect-type congregations have a higher proportion of total families from couples seeking an entirely new church as a compromise to a mixed marriage situation. |
