<p>While shared quality time is known to benefit relationships, little is understood about how the meaningfulness of that time, rather than its frequency, is related to conflict resolution. Furthermore, quality time may enhance perceived perspective-taking (i.e., one’s perception that their partner understands and values their perspective) within the relationship, which can support more effective conflict management. Guided by social exchange theory and the interpersonal process of intimacy, the current study examines how quality time is related to both positive and negative conflict resolution, highlighting the mediating role of perceived perspective-taking, a key relational process that fosters empathy and mutual understanding. The sample consisted of 314 heterosexual married couples from a state in the southeastern region of the United States (<i>M</i>_age wives = 44.56, SD = 13.24; <i>M</i>_age husbands = 46.33, SD = 13.58). Results from an actor-partner interdependence mediation model (APIMeM) demonstrated significant actor and partner effects, indicating that higher quality time was associated with higher levels of positive conflict and lower levels of negative conflict, mediated by greater perceived perspective-taking. These findings highlight the importance of quality time and perceived perspective-taking as key factors in fostering healthier conflict dynamics. Interventions in couple therapy and marriage education that encourage partners to spend meaningful time together and to actively take each other’s perspective may help improve conflict resolution dynamics and promote overall relational health.</p>
