The 2012 Pew "Mormons in America" survey found that 81% of LDS members rank being a good parent among life's most important goals — compared to 50% of the general public. 73% say having a successful marriage is a top priority — compared to 34% of all Americans.
Outcomes follow values. LDS members have the lowest Christian divorce rate (9% currently divorced), highest marital satisfaction (9.3/10), and highest marriage rate (66%). The prioritization of family in the value system predicts the family outcomes in the data.
