Couples form the foundation of military families. However, on average, couples become significantly less satisfied with their relationships and marriages across the deployment cycle. Reduced satisfaction places partners at risk for psychological distress and family problems. The present study examines the effects of a family based reintegration program aimed at enhancing reflective functioning in recently deployed service members and their home-front partners on relationship satisfaction. Results reveal that most dyads report being satisfied in their relationship at baseline. However, greater couple distress was related to more psychological distress in both partners. For spouses, intervention had a positive, significant effect on relationship satisfaction. Variations in relative risk for couple distress among service members and their spouses highlight the need to assess both partners to clarify risk factors and modifiable targets of intervention.

夫妻是军人家庭的基础。然而，在整个部署周期中，夫妻双方的关系和婚姻满意度都会显著下降。满意度的降低会使伴侣面临心理困扰和家庭问题的风险。本研究考察了一项基于家庭的重新融入计划对最近部署的军人及其家庭伴侣的关系满意度的影响，该计划旨在提高反思功能。研究结果显示，大多数伴侣在基线时报告对他们的关系感到满意。然而，夫妻双方的更多痛苦与双方的更多心理困扰有关。对于配偶来说，干预对关系满意度有积极的显著影响。军人及其配偶之间夫妻痛苦的相对风险的变化突出表明需要评估双方，以明确风险因素和可干预的目标。
