MINDFULNESS AS A FACTOR FOR BUILDING AND MAINTAINING RELATIONSHIP SATISFACTION OF COUPLES

Summary/Abstract: Positive relationships have proved to be one of the key factors for higher wellbeing and better resilience. Many leading psychologists claim that mindfulness is crucial for а healthy, satisfying relationship. One of the individual’s key interactions is with his/her romantic partner. Couple relationships are not static – they can be defined as a dynamic system. As such, relationships need constant care, often requiring maintaining and developing the level of intimacy, closeness, love and togetherness. The lack of mindfulness ability can lead to lower capability of recognizing one’s emotions, thoughts and words, as well as their partner’s. That in its turn can put the relationship at risk. The paper aims at presenting theoretical foundations and ideas for the effect of mindfulness on romantic relationships. The effect of mindfulness on leading aspects of the relationship as well as relationship satisfaction are also outlined. Studies proving the connection between mindfulness and couple relationships are also discussed.
