Kepuasan Pernikahan Pasangan Beda Etnis ditentukan Resolusi Konflik dan Intimasi Spiritual

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of conflict resolution and spiritual intimacy on marital satisfaction among interracial married couples. Subjects in this study were 51 interracial married couples in one of the church synods in Indonesia. This study used the conflict resolution scale, the spiritual intimacy scale and the marital satisfaction scale. Data analysis techniques used in this study were multiple and partial regression. The result showed that there is an effect of conflict resolution and spiritual intimacy to marital satisfaction simultaneously. On the other hand, both conflict resolution and spiritual intimacy has their own roles towards marital satisfaction among interracial married couples. Nevertheless, compared with conflict resolution, spiritual intimacy has a bigger impact towards marriage satisfaction.
