Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the actor and the partner effects in the process of which mindfulness affected marital satisfaction through communication among middle-aged couples.

Methods: 309 couples aged 40~65 residing in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, and Daejeon participated. The data were analyzed using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM).

Results: First, while there was no significant difference between the husband¡¯s and wife¡¯s mindfulness, the wives had higher communication ability, and the husbands had higher marital satisfaction. Second, it was found that the higher one¡¯s mindfulness, the higher one¡¯s own communication. The higher the husband¡¯s mindfulness, the higher the wife¡¯s communication, but the wife¡¯s mindfulness did not affect the husband¡¯s communication. Third, it was found that the higher one¡¯s communication, the higher the one¡¯s own marital satisfaction as well as the partner¡¯s marital satisfaction. Fourth, there were significant mediation effects between the husband¡¯s and wife¡¯s mindfulness and their own and the partner¡¯s marital satisfaction through one¡¯s own communication.

Conclusions: The implications for the practice of marital therapy and future research based on the study results were discussed.
