    Lisa Pierce, who did a 31 year long study of over 800 families, wrote that mothers who see religion as important have a better, happier relationship with their young adult children than mothers who place no importance on religious life. She said that the more important religion is to a mother, the higher the quality of relationship she has with her son or daughter.

    Whatever one may think about a deep, abiding faith, it does emphasize strong families, and it does motivate parents to work harder at developing a positive bond with their kids.
