ABSTRACT

With rising rates of separation and divorce, there is an increased need to understand factors that promote relationship satisfaction. Advancement in the field of positive psychology has shifted the focus on understanding relational humility and forgiveness – two important virtues in this context. The present study aimed to understand the relationship between relational humility, forgiveness, and relationship satisfaction in married individuals. The sample consisted of 100 married individuals, married up to 3 years. The scales used were the Relational Humility Scale (RHS- 16), Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS), and Couples Satisfaction Index Scale (CSI-16). A Pearson product-moment correlational analysis showed a significant positive relationship between forgiveness and relationship satisfaction. However, no significant association was found between relational humility and relationship satisfaction, and relational humility and forgiveness. This finding has a wide scope to promote healthier relationships and provide couples with skills for healthy marriages. It can aid therapists in understanding relationships and practicing couples’ therapy.
