This study of a group of husbands and wives in the middle years of marriage investigated the relationship between sexual enjoyment and marital satisfaction of those high on religiosity and those low on religiosity. The major finding was that religiosity reduced the impact of women's lack of sexual gratification on their general marital satisfaction. This did not occur with the men. These findings are consistent with those of a study of the early years of marriage
