Abstract	Marriage and spirituality are two very popular issues on the minds of many religious young adults in today’s society. Most world religions place emphasis on the significance of marriage, yet very little research has focused on what the experience is like for the believers of these religions when they implement religious guidance on their journey for their spouse. Additionally, little to no research exists to analyze the usefulness of premarital assessments with specific religious groups. In this study, members of the Bahá’í Faith between the ages of 20 and 35 were interviewed to get an intimate look at their journey of marital preparation, both in the sphere of applying religious principles as well as analyzing the usefulness of a premarital assessment. It was found that the participants in this study were stuck in a difficult predicament, in that they felt they were under harsh scrutiny by both members of their religious community and mainstream society. Additionally, they felt that the evaluated questionnaire offered little useful perspective. The information garnered from this grounded theory study will hopefully provide the first stepping stones toward understanding the relationship between religiosity and marital preparation.
