Why do people turn to church as they age?

It is no secret that younger people rebel against the need to attend church.  The church attendance cycle of a good number of people looks like this:

  • Ages 0 – 18 – Go to church because you have no choice
  • Ages 18-22 – Drink through college and attend church when you feel guilty
  • Ages 22-30 – Forget that church exists
  • Ages 31- 39 – Rediscover church and attend sparingly
  • Ages 40 – Death – Attend church religiously

Church attendance at a later age can be attributed to many things…wisdom, experience, peer pressure, and fear of the unknown are just a few possible reasons.  I’ve seen peer pressure turn many people who could care less about church into full time attendees.  However, I can’t speak for everyone.

What do you think is the main reason?
