The scientific literature has signaled that religiosity/spirituality (R/S) is an important component in the marital relationship, and may be associated with its maintenance over time, as well as with well-being indicators. The aim of this study was to evaluate how to measure the relation between spiritual well-being, well-being, religious-spiritual coping and marital satisfaction in long-term couples. The sample was collected from Brazilian married people (n = 111), at least 15 years old (M = 26.05, SD = 7.47). The instruments were the GRIMS Conjugal Satisfaction Scale, Spiritual Well-Being Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale, Positive and Negative Affective Scales - PANAS C-8, Religious-Spiritual Scale of Scale, and Sociodemographic Questionnaire. The descriptive and calculated measures were performed between the measures of the continuous variables of the factor of the instruments by the Spearman coefficient. The interpretation was based on Positive Psychology. People with higher levels of R/S and well-being tend to present more conjugated and more satisfactory problems with their marriages. From the results, it became evident that R/S can be an important component in maintaining marriage in long-lived unions.
