Two 10-item scales assess the degree to which couples view marital sexuality from a spiritual perspective.
Both scales published by Hernandez, Mahoney, and Pargament (2011) are rated on the same 7-point scale.
The wording is clearly aimed at married couples. Although they use the word God, note that in a similar scale focused on children from some of the same authors, participants are instructed to think of their own deity.
Revised Manifestation of God in Marital Sexuality
Two sample items:
1) God played a role in my decision to have a sexual relationship with my spouse.
2) Our sexual relationship speaks to the presence of God.
Revised Sacred Qualities of Marital Sexuality
Two sample items:
1) Being sexually intimate with my spouse feels like a deeply spiritual experience.
2) Our sexual relationship seems like a miracle to me.
Scoring
There are 10-items in the scale. Participants are asked to respond on a 1 to 7 scale where 1 = Strongly Disagree, 4 = neutral, and 7 = Strongly Disagree.
