This study is exploring whether a couple-based meditation program can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their partners. The program involves meditation and discussion sessions led by trained instructors. Researchers want to see if these sessions are practical to offer and if they can improve your physical, psychological, and spiritual quality of life. You would need to be receiving treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center and have an ECOG performance status (a measure of how well you can perform daily activities) of 2 or less. The study aims to enroll 300 couples.
