Abstract
Emotional intimacy is studied as a possible intervening variable between spiritual intimacy and marital satisfaction. Results indicate that the effect of spiritual intimacy, if any, is indirect, operating through emotional intimacy on marital satisfaction. For wives' perceptions of their emotional intimacy with their husbands, an interaction effect was observed between the spouses'perceptions of their marriages' spiritual intimacy; however, differences in their perceptions seem more related to emotional distance than are similarities related to greater closeness. Implications for religious family life education are briefly discussed.
