Abstract

The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between love, the number of children, and the strength of religious faith. Specifically, it examined whether religiosity affects the number of children and how it correlates with aspects of love such as intimacy, passion, and commitment. The results indicate that religiosity is strongly associated with the number of children as well as the type and duration of the relationship, whereas it has no significant impact on love. Linear regression showed that the type of relationship, relationship duration, and religiosity are significant predictors of the number of children, while the age of participants does not have a significant influence.
