This descriptive correlation study was a regression model.

Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression with SPSS 21 software. Findings showed: a) There is a positive and significant relationship between religious orientation and marital commitment (p <0.01). B) There is a positive and significant relationship between moral intelligence and marital commitment (p <0.01). (C) Both dimensions of external and internal religious orientation and elements of integrity, accountability and forgiveness (components of moral intelligence) are capable of predicting marital commitment.
