Abstract
This instrument-development project is aimed at developing the Marital Spirituality Scale (MSS). Specifically, this is aimed at constructing the items of the MSS and determining its validity and reliability. A total of 381 married respondents were chosen through referral technique. Findings from the study showed that from the initial 92-item, 5- factor structure MSS, the final form of the MSS has become a 31-item item, 6- factor structure MSS. The factors of the final form of the MSS are relationship with God, Existential, Traditional/Ritual, Intimacy, Forgiveness and Partnership. Furthermore, the MSS exhibits validity and reliability as evidenced by content validation of five (5) experts, convergent and discriminant validity as demonstrated by Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA).
