LAY SUMMARY This research delves into how posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects relationships. Most studies focus on how PTSD negatively affects romantic relationships, but this study looked at what makes relationships resilient for patients undergoing PTSD treatment. The study population consisted of 89 patients, including 49 Veterans, and the authors explored how trauma symptoms and perceived partner support influence relationship quality. The results reveal that partners' supportiveness strongly affected relationship satisfaction, suggesting that couples in which one partner is dealing with PTSD can maintain a positive relationship when the other partner is supportive. This sheds light on the importance of partner support in fostering strong relationships amid struggles with PTSD.
