“This study⟳ examines the attitudes of young Muslim Iranians and young Jewish Iranians regarding intramarriage and intermarriage”

“The influence⟳ of religious and ethnic differences on marital intimacy was examined by administering the Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships and a demographic/attitudinal questionnaire to 25 Jewish couples (intramarried) and 25 couples with one Jewish partner (intermarried). […] Intramarried couples appear⟳ to experience⟳ greater personal similarity and mutual understanding rooted in their ethnic bond, which aids the development of intimacy. Intermarried couples appear⟳ to find⟳ that the very process⟳ of negotiating ethnic differences leads to greater mutual understanding and intimacy. These findings indicate⟳ that clinicians and religious leaders should not assume⟳ that intermarriage constrains levels of intimacy. Nor should it be assumed that intramarriage assures high intimacy.”
