The purpose was to examine the mediating role of experiential avoidance in the association between focus on child and marital satisfaction. One hundred fifty-nine married dyads completed Focus on Child Subscale of Family Genogram Interview, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II, Relationship Assessment Scale, and Demographic Information Form. Findings of the Common Fate Mediation Model indicated that focus on child and experiential avoidance explained 55% of the variance in marital satisfaction. Experiential avoidance has fully mediated the association between focus on the child and marital satisfaction- we delineated the results in the light of literature.
