This study examined the degree to which religious conversations and relational uncertainty with a romantic partner mediate the associations between family communication patterns (FCPs) (i.e., conversation and conformity orientations) and young adults’ mental well-being. Participants included 204 young adults currently involved in a romantic relationship. Results indicated that both orientations predict the frequency with which partners engage in conversations about religion and spirituality with romantic partners. Family conformity orientation had a direct effect on mental well-being, whereas conversation orientation had indirect effects on young adults’ mental well-being through religious conversations and relational uncertainty. Theoretically, this study extends FCP theory by demonstrating that relational schemas formed in individuals’ families-of-origin may enhance (or inhibit) their mental well-being via conversational and relational experiences with a romantic partner.
