520			_aObjective and hypothesis: Mindfulness is a common practice applied in the fields of stress and pain management, but it has only been employed as a strategy in improving marital relations in the past ten years. This study, entitled “mind–body,” compares mindfulness to relaxation using a three-week audio recording program and a random sample of subjects. The general hypothesis is that mindfulness training is more efficient than relaxation exercises in improving conjugal satisfaction. Method and tools: Ten couples participated in the study in total. Half of the couples (n=5) were randomly assigned to the mindfulness group and the other half to the relaxation group (n=5). An audio recording for mindfulness training and an audio recording of relaxation exercises were created for women in relationships for the purpose of improving conjugal satisfaction. To compare the effectiveness of both types of training, repeated-measure ANOVA-type statistical analyses were conducted. Results: Both groups experienced a significant improvement in conjugal satisfaction in their relationships. However, it appears that after a month of training, only mindfulness training continued to show improvements. Conclusion: Looking at the long-term benefits, mindfulness seems to be more efficient than relaxation in improving conjugal satisfaction in relationships.
