| Summary: | The aim of the present study was to determine the role of sanctification of marriage and prayer for the spouse in reducing marital infidelity. The present study was a causal-comparative study design. Two hundred and twenty-three individuals were selected as the sample through the available sampling method among those referred to three counselling centres in the city of Tehran, Iran. To evaluate the variables, the Prayer for the Spouse Questionnaire, the Manifestation of God in Marriage Scale and the Infidelity Scale were used. For data analysis, descriptive and regression analyses were used. The results indicated that sanctification of marriage and prayer for the spouse are negatively correlated with marital infidelity. The study findings also indicated that sanctification of marriage and prayer for the spouse can be considered as suitable predictive factors for reducing the probability of individuals’ engagement in marital infidelity. |
