Abstract
The present research was performed to survey a relationship between spiritual intelligence and life satisfaction in two groups, married and unmarried females in the city of Esfahan, Iran. A total of 202 females were selected by the simple random sampling method to participate in this study. It used the King’s Spiritual Intelligence Inventory and Philip Carter’s Life Satisfaction Inventory to measure the variables. The research was designed according to the correlational method. For statistical analysis of data, it used the Pearson’s correlation method, multivariate regression and independent t-test. The results of this study showed a meaningful relation between life satisfaction and spiritual intelligence. There was also a relation between life satisfaction in the two groups of married and unmarried females, however there was no difference in terms of spiritual intelligence in these two groups. The results of regression analysis have shown that spiritual intelligence is predictive of life satisfaction. Further, findings indicated that the rate of life satisfaction in married females is more than in unmarried females.

Summary
Scientists believe that neither the intelligence quotient nor social intelligence can adequately explain the complexity of intelligence and vast richness of the human soul. Computers have high classic intelligence for which programs can operate without mistakes. Animals enjoy high emotional intelligence and know how to respond accurately to situations. Neither computers nor animals understand the reasons for performing their roles, situations or how to function differently and more efficiently. We can perceive behavioral models and rules by two types of thought processes (intelligent quotient and emotional intelligence). Through the third thought process (spiritual intelligence) we create situations and rules. A recent scientific description of the human brain, takes into consideration three types of constructs, mental, emotional and spiritual. When we use our brains for thought, this process does include the brain and intelligent quotient, and feelings or emotional intelligence as well as spirituality, values, hopes and meaningful-
