The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between married individuals' attitudes towards violence and their spiritual wellbeing scores. The research was carried out with married participants living in Muratpaşa, Antalya. Married participants did not participate in the study as couples, but as individuals. 269 (56.8%) participants were female and 205 (43.2%) were male, and thus, the data of 474 participants were studied in the research. Intimate Violence Responsibility Scale (IVRS) and Spiritual Well-Being Scale forms and socio-demographic information form were applied to the participants. SPSS 22.0 was used for the statistical analysis of the data obtained from the scales while descriptive statistics T-Test and Anova were performed during the evaluation phase. The relationship between dependent and independent variables was tested with Pearson correlation. According to the research findings, while there was a significant negative relationship between the sub-dimensions of transcendence and violence and the sub-dimensions of control and abuse, a positive relationship was found between harmony with nature, violence, control and abuse. According to the T-Test and Anova results obtained from the study, the violence sub-dimension was higher in women, and the control and abuse sub-dimensions were higher in male participants. There was a negative correlation between the age of 65 and over and the control sub-dimension while control and abuse sub-dimension scores of those who graduated from high school were found to be lower in terms of the education level. As for the anomie sub-dimension, it was found to be low in primary school graduates. It has been found out that spiritual well-being (transcendence) increased, the scores of attitude towards violence decreased. In this sense, it is suggested that spiritual education programs will be influential in changing the attitudes towards violence.
