LDS families average 3.4 children for members aged 40-59, compared to the national average of 2.1 — the highest fertility rate of any major religious group measured by Pew.
66% of LDS adults are married, also the highest rate of any major religious group. The combination of high marriage rates, high fertility, and low divorce (9% currently divorced — lowest of any Christian denomination) reflects a family-centered culture supported by consistent demographic data.
