Abstract :

Marital adjustment is regarded as one of the important factors in family studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between marital adjustment and Islamic lifestyle. 150 students' parents of Isfahan University were selected by cluster sampling who filled out the Islamic lifestyle questionnaire (ILSQ) and short form of Spanier's couple adjustment questionnaire. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical method (correlation, regression, t-test and structural equation).The results of structural equation modeling showed that the Islamic lifestyle has a significant impact on marital adjustment. Also the results of the regression model indicated that structural and behavioral aspects of Islamic lifestyle can significantly predict the marital adjustment. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between Islamic lifestyle aspects and marital adjustment. Therefore couples' marital adjustment will improve in the case of practicing Islamic commandments in their lifestyle.
