YOGYAKARTA Mindful or caring is one of the variables in a pairwise relationship that researchers attribute to mental health and relationship happiness. Dr. Tasha Seiter MS, Ph.D., MFTC., said that a caring partnership illustrates how full their presence is when they are with their partner.

A number of studies support that mindfulness is associated with mental health is better. This includes minimizing depression and lower anxiety. In his research, the relationship and communication coach, Seiter, saw whether this was true in a couple relationship.

The results of Seiter's research, reported by Psychology Today, Monday, March 6, show that a partner's emotional awareness, analysis, intentional affection, is associated with lower anxiety. Although researchers cannot determine whether mindful is done consciously that has a positive effect, it causes lower levels of anxiety and depression. But researchers want to show that partnerships that are mindful are related to good mental health.

The research sample includes men, mostly whites. So researchers have to expand the sample more diversely. But the findings of this study show that quality connections are an important aspect of developing in life. In fact, there are many studies that link good pairwise relationships with better mental happiness and health. Especially, for couples who are married and have long been committed.

Beyond Seiter's research, research has also been conducted for 80 years on 268 men at Harvard. The research investigates what factors correlate with greater happiness, little mental stress, and better physical health. Predictor variables include recording genetic structure, income level, IQ, and educational achievement. However, there is one element that is the greatest force in distinguishing those who develop from those who are depressed to their 90s. The element is the quality of their relationship. The head of researcher, George E. Vaillant, said, the majority of growing men find love and that's why they thrive.

Through this study, Seiter also recommends many couples. That if you want to live a life full of vitality until dusk, it means that it is not only a healthy lifestyle that must be lived. But also improve relationships so that they are both mentally healthy.
