In the current study, the mediator role of resilience and rumination in the relationship between forgiveness and marital adjustment was examined. The participants of the study are 494 married individuals and 357 (72.3%) of them are female and 137 (27.7%) are male. Their ages are between 18 and 65 (M = 40.49±7.96). The Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale, The Resilience Scale-Short Form, the Ruminative Response Scale-Short Form and the Heartland Forgiveness Scale were used as the data collection tools in the study. In the analysis of the collected data, Pearson correlation analysis and structural equation model were used. As a result of the study, it was seen that resilience and rumination had a full mediator role in the relationship between forgiveness and marital adjustment. The obtained findings were discussed in reference to the literature.
