Most research on the relationship between forgiveness and religiosity has been conducted on individuals of US-origin and protestant religious affiliation. Taking into account the important role of forgiveness in orthodox religion and the Romanians’ high degree of religiosity, we consider important to study forgiveness and religiosity from a psychological perspective among the Romanian people of Orthodox religion. This article examines the importance of forgiveness in marriage and the ways in which religiosity and socio-demographic factors might influence the forgiveness process in couples. The aims of the present study are: 1) to investigate the relationships between forgiveness (trait forgiveness, family of origin forgiveness and marital forgiveness), family religiosity (family religious faith, family religious behaviour and family religious coping) and marital satisfaction for orthodox people and 2) to explore the influence of some of the socio-demographic factors (number of years of marriage, gender, area) on forgiveness. The research is realized on a sample of 120 married people from Romania. For measuring forgiveness we used The Trait Forgiveness Scale and The Family Forgiveness Scale, for marital satisfaction evaluation we used Dyadic Adjustment Scale, for religiosity evaluation we used Family Religiosity Questionnaire. Also, we used The Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale. Implications of the findings for marriage and family therapy are discussed.
