Abstract

Lately, long-distance marriages are happening a lot in society. This is due to work or education. Given the geographical distance between the spouses, trust is necessary to obtain happiness in a marital relationship. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between trust in partners and marital happiness in wives who undergo long-distance marriages. The subject of the participants in this study was a wife who had a long-distance marriage and was working or studying with an age range of 21-40 years. The number of participants in this study were 32 people. This study uses a quantitative approach that is correlational. This study used a data collection instrument, namely thescale Likert. The results of this study indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between trust in partners and marital happiness with a correlation coefficient value of 0.566 and p value = 0.001 (p < 0.05), which means the higher the trust in the partner, the higher the marital happiness for the wife who undergoes long distance marriage and vice versa.
