Abstract

Although Judaism, Christianity, and Islam differ in some of their religious teachings, traditions, and dogmas, there are more similarities than differences. Fundamental to each are the primacy of God, marriage, and the family. Each religion also offers specific prescriptions for improving marital relationships, the implications of which make individuals accountable for their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the eyes of their God. This article offers a review of the historical roots of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It provides a look at marital law as explained in the Old Testament, New Testament, and Qur’an. It also provides an overview of ancient and contemporary marital ritual, religious practices, and symbolism within each of these three religious traditions, informed through the lens of attachment theory.
