Abstract in brief

  • The studies examined how trait mindfulness is linked to partner acceptance (accepting a partner's imperfections) and how this acceptance may explain the connection between mindfulness and relationship satisfaction.
  • Results showed that in all three samples, higher mindfulness was associated with greater partner acceptance, and in two studies, it also directly related to higher relationship satisfaction.
  • The findings suggest that partner acceptance could be a key mechanism through which mindfulness improves relationship satisfaction for both partners, with benefits spreading within the couple.
