Abstract :
This paper aims to compare spiritual health and marital quality in married women. The method of descriptive research was correlational. The statistical population of this study included all married women in Shiraz. Moreover, the statistical sample included 100 individuals, and cluster sampling was applied to determine the sample size. Paloutzian and Ellison's Spiritual Health questionnaires and Busby's Marital Quality Questionnaire were utilized to collect data. Furthermore, the collected data were analyzed at two levels (descriptive statistics and inferential statistics). Correlation coefficients and multivariate regression analysis were applied at the inferential level for descriptive statistics. The results showed a significant relationship between spiritual health and marital quality in married women. Generally, spiritual health was higher among married women with good marital quality.
