Butler, Mark H.; Stout, Julie A.; Gardner, Brandt C.
American Journal of Family Therapy, v30 n1 p19-37 Jan-Feb 2002
For religious couples, Deity's influence in their marriage is often experienced through prayer, and Deity may more significantly influence religious couples' interaction than anyone else. As a preliminary test of this hypothesis, spouses completed a Likert-scaled questionnaire pertaining to prayer and marital conflict. Issues surrounding clinical use of prayer as a conflict resolution tactic are considered. (Contains 59 references and 1 table.) (BF)
