Marital satisfaction and communication patterns were studied in homogamous fundamentalist Protestant couples, i.e., both partners have the same religious affiliation, heterogamous fundamentalist couples, i.e., each partner has a different religious affiliation, and couples who were not fundamentalist Protestant. A total of 78 couples completed the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and the Marital Communication Inventory. Analyses indicated that importance of religion in a person's life rather than religious affiliation was a predictor of both satisfaction and communication patterns. Implications for further research were discussed
