Abstract: Military couples face unique challenges that have the potential to strain their romantic relationships, including the extended rigors of deployment. Using the theory of resilience and relational load, this study examined savoring as a beneficial practice in fostering resilience and relational satisfaction among military partners whose serviceperson partner had completed at least one deployment. Military partners (n = 156) completed an online survey, with results suggesting that savoring positively contributes to relational maintenance and broader resilience processes and relational wellbeing for military couples. Savoring is a skill that can be easily practiced and shows great promise for the cultivation of relational maintenance and resilience for military families.
