The aim of this research was to examine validity and reliability of Turkish version of Relationship Assessment Scale and its Turkish adaptation. Data for this research collected from 336 married couples. For structure validity of the scale, confirmatory factor analysis was done. The reliability of the scale was examined with internal consistency method. Confirmatory factor analysis provided a good fit to the data (x² = 52.87, df = 13, p = 0.00, RMSEA = .069, GFI = .95, CFI = .97, IFI = .97, NFI = .95, and SRMR = .04). The internal consistency coefficient was found .87. In the result of the item analysis, corrected item‐total correlations ranged from a low of .52 to a high of .74, and were statistically significant at the p<0.001 level. These results demonstrated that this scale is a valid and reliable instrument.
