在美国，高度信教的夫妇构成了婚姻治疗客户的很大一部分。已婚的基督徒（N = 211）完成了一项人口统计和宗教虔诚度（宗教价值观和基督教信仰）的调查。他们对四种婚姻治疗情况中的一种进行了偏好和期望评级：基督徒治疗师使用基督教实践（例如，祈祷或参考圣经），基督徒治疗师只使用心理实践，非基督徒治疗师愿意使用基督教实践，非基督徒治疗师只使用心理实践。较高的宗教价值观和较高的基督教信仰预测了婚姻治疗情况的评分，其中高被定义为比标准化规范组的平均值高出一个标准偏差。低到中等的宗教价值观或基督教信仰并不能预测婚姻治疗的评分。结论是，高度信教的夫妻呈现出一种特殊的情况，在这种情况下，婚姻治疗的营销、评估和实践可能与其他类型夫妻的治疗不同。
Highly religious couples constitute a substantial portion of marital therapy clients in the U.S. Married Christian individuals ( N = 211) completed a survey of demographics and religiosity (religious values and Christian beliefs). They rated preferences and expectations for one of four marital therapy situations: Christian therapist using Christian practices (e.g., prayer or reference to Scripture), Christian therapist using psychological practices only, non-Christian therapist willing to use Christian practices, and non-Christian therapist using psychological practices only. High religious values and high Christian beliefs predicted ratings of marital therapy situations, where high was defined as one standard deviation above the mean of standardized norm groups. Low to moderate religious values or Christian beliefs did not predict ratings of marital therapy. It was concluded that highly religious couples present a special situation where the marketing, assessment, and practice of marital therapy might differ from therapy with other types of couples.
