Although has been shown to contribute positively to subjective well-being, religiousness can also be associated with religious struggles.  On the other hand, males might react differently from females regarding religiousness and its struggles. This study aims to find out the relation of subjective well-being (the Satisfaction with Life Scale / SWLS), religiousness (the Four Basic Dimensions of Religiousness Scale / 4BDRS), and religious/spiritual struggles (the Religious and Spiritual Struggle Scale / RSS) among male and female students in two Indonesian universities in Jakarta-Tangerang area. SWLS and 4BDRS from 153 students show that religiousness is correlated positively with well-being (r = .404, p < .05). Although male and female students do not show significant difference in religiousness, t-test results (t (151) = 2.82 , p<.01) reveal that male students (M=53.65, SD=14.41, N=80) display significantly higher religious/spiritual struggle than female students (M=47.48, SD=12.48, N=73). Thus, even though male and female students show the same degree of religiousness, male students might be struggling more religiously than their female counterparts. Understanding such gender dynamics might be crucial in the future research regarding religiousness and religious struggle in a very religious country like Indonesia.
