Researchers have found religiosity and gender ideology to be associated with higher levels of relationship quality. These effects are weakening as recent generations have become less traditional, but remain consistent for much of the American population. For all couples, it is important to determine the underlying mechanisms governing these associations. It is likely that the associations between religiosity, gender ideology, and relationship quality are mediated by relationship commitment, which has been understood to have three dimensions. The current study uses data from the 1999 wave of the Family Transitions Project (N = 290) to test the mediating effects of relationship commitment. Religiosity is operationalized in individual and dyadic models as either attendance or religious beliefs. Among the findings, women who report attending religious services more frequently were observed to have higher relationship quality. For men and women, there was a negative indirect effect of traditional gender ideology on relationship quality through one dimension, personal commitment, but not the other two, moral and structural commitment. There was an indirect effect of religiosity on relationship quality through personal commitment for men (attendance) and women (religious beliefs). In the dyadic model, there was an indirect effect of average frequency of attendance on relationship quality through personal commitment. Traditional gender ideology had an indirect effect on relationship quality through personal commitment. In the model with religious beliefs, there was also a positive direct effect of traditional gender ideology. These results emphasize the importance of considering the influence of the three dimensions of relationship commitment in explaining the associations between religiosity, gender ideology, and relationship quality.
