This study examined the relationship between religious orientation and marital satisfaction among spouses of a faith community in India. The study participants (N=100) were chosen non-randomly. Data was collected from the participants by administering the religious orientation scale developed by Allport and Ross (1967) and the dyadic adjustment scale developed by Spanier (1976).  The study has revealed a mild positive relationship between participants’ intrinsic religious orientation and their marital satisfaction and also years of their membership in evangelical union and intrinsic religious orientation. The study has also revealed a mild negative relationship between participants’ extrinsic religious orientation and marital satisfaction. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are discussed.
