Women occupied with playing different roles after marriage and quality of their experience in these roles were examined in relation to life satisfaction and spiritual well being. This study has been carried out to find out the significance difference between working and non-working women regarding spiritual well-being and life satisfaction. For this purpose sample of 100 married women ( 50 working & 50 non-working) were taken. Spiritual well-being scale by Paloutzian and Ellison and Satisfaction with Life Scale by Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffin were used in order to measure spiritual well-being and life satisfaction respectively. The result revealed that working and non-working womens differ significantly on the variable spiritual well-being but this difference is not significant for the life satisfaction. Further spiritual well-being and life satisfaction is found significantly and positively correlated. This implies that the satisfaction with life and happiness results in spiritual well-being.
