Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homogamy refers to the tendency of people to marry others who are similar to them in terms of demographics such as age, race/ethnicity, education, and religion. In this case, the couple met as children because their families attended the same church, indicating a religious similarity. They later ended up at the same university, indicating similarities in education and possibly other demographics. Their similarity in these areas likely played a role in their decision to start dating and ultimately get married.
