Komunikasi Pernikahan Beda Budaya (Studi Komunikasi Antarpribadi Pasangan Arab Alawiyyin dan Non-Alawiyyin di Kampung Arab Solo, Jawa Tengah)

This study aims to find out how the processes, communication barriers, and adaptations carried out by different cultural couples between Arab Alawiyyin and Non-Arab Alawiyyin in their married life. Communication is the main key in a marriage. Especially in a marriage between two people with different cultural backgrounds, interpersonal communication is important to achieve harmony in a family. This research is a phenomenological study that aims to determine the subjective experience of interpersonal communication between Alawiyyin and non-Alawiyyin Arab marriage couples. The results showed that interpersonal communication between Alawiyyin and non-Alawiyyin Arab couples took place harmoniously because of adjustments made before and during the marriage period. Commitments and agreements are made and negotiated with effective communication between the two. Communication barriers in general can be overcome well, even though at the beginning of marriage it was the toughest moment for couples to adjust. Differences in culture, customs, norms and values between partners are other factors that hinder communication. Openness, empathy, mindfulness, cultural sensitivity, and other effective interpersonal communication skills are keys to success in intercultural marriage relationships. In addition, the extended family and its values are the main factors that must be compromised, especially in the early moments of marriage.

Dampak Perkawinan Pulang Balee Dalam Kehidupan Rumah Tangga Di Kecamatan Darussalam Kabupaten Aceh Besar

The contract is carried out consciously by a man and a woman, which is basically with the liking and willingness of both parties. Pleasure and willingness in a marriage is very necessary for the continuity of the household so that the marriage runs with mutual love and love with the aim of fostering a household that is sakinah, mawaddah and rahmah and with the willingness of both parties will also get ridha from Allah SWT. But there is a marriage that is very helpful and gives very good wisdom in marriage. Like the marriage of Pulang Balee, namely marrying his own brother-in-law, whether biological, step-by-step, still related by blood, or his own relatives. However, many of them do not want to and are forced to do it so that it has an impact on their domestic life. Thus, the researchers wanted to examine the problems related to how the practice of Pulang balee marriage in Darussalam District, Aceh Besar District, and how the factors and impacts of Pulang balee marriage in Darussalam District, Aceh Besar District.

The Role of Religiosity Mediated by Forgiveness on Marriage Satisfaction in Early Adult Individuals

The divorce rate in Indonesia is increasing every year. Various reasons that cause divorce include cheating; cases of drunkenness, alcoholism, and gambling by one partner, polygamy, domestic violence, economic problems and others. Experts argue that divorce arises as a result of the couple's dissatisfaction with their married life. Marriage satisfaction is described as a 'U'-shaped life cycle, where the beginning of marriage becomes the starting point for the highest level of satisfaction, then decreases due to the presence of the child, and then rises again after the children leave the home. This study aims to determine the effect of religiosity on marriage satisfaction, which is mediated by forgiveness. This study involved 351 early adults (aged 18-40 years), who have a marriage age of 1-5 years in Medan City. The measuring instrument used in this research is the Centrality of Religiosity Scale-15 (by Huber & Huber), adapted Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory (by McCullough) and adapted Enrich Marital Satisfaction (EMS) Scale (by Fowers & Olson). The result of simple regression analysis shows that the effective contribution of religiosity to marriage satisfaction in early adult individuals with a marriage age of 1-5 years is 2.4%, the effective contribution of forgiveness on marriage satisfaction in early adult individuals with a marriage age of 1-5 years is 4.9%, the effective contribution of religiosity on forgiveness in early adult individuals with a marriage age of 1-5 years is 4.2%, and there is a positive and significant role of religiosity on marriage satisfaction in early adult individuals with a marriage age of 1-5 years which is partially mediated by forgiveness. The implication of this research is that early adult individuals, marriage counselors, psychologists, society and government know the role of religiosity mediated by forgiveness on marital satisfaction. Therefore, the divorce rate in Indonesia can be reduced by actively participating in religious activities or counseling with a religious approach.

Spouses\u2019 faces are similar but do not become more similar with time

The widely disseminated convergence in physical appearance hypothesis posits that long-term partners’ facial appearance converges with time due to their shared environment, emotional mimicry, and synchronized activities. Although plausible, this hypothesis is incompatible with empirical findings pertaining to a wide range of other traits—such as personality, intelligence, attitudes, values, and well-being—in which partners show initial similarity but do not converge over time. We solve this conundrum by reexamining this hypothesis using the facial images of 517 couples taken at the beginning of their marriages and 20 to 69 years later. Using two independent methods of estimating their facial similarity (human judgment and a facial recognition algorithm), we show that while spouses’ faces tend to be similar at the beginning of marriage, they do not converge over time, bringing facial appearance in line with other personal characteristics.

Early marriage in Yogyakarta

This research explains about the beginning of marriage in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). Using descriptive analysis to analyze secondary data collected from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and other related institutions, data processing uses Ms. Excel Software and presented in tables, diagrams, and graphs. This study aims to determine the factors associated with early marriage in Yogyakarta and determine the impact of early marriage. In 2018, there were 312 initial marriage dispensations approved by the DIY religious court. This figure is up from 2017 with only 294 dispensations left. Early marriage is not only caused by environmental factors and economic background. This is related to the era of globalization which makes the association of children. Information that is widely disclosed if not accompanied by reasons and parental supervision will become something as dangerous as free sex. Free sex is one of the causes of early marriage, children or adolescents who do not get a strong provision will fall into promiscuity. The impact that will arise in terms of education can be a loss of opportunities for education, other than that the impact in terms of employment will certainly be hampered due to lack of education and will have an impact on the economy.

Dinamika Psikologis Pasangan Suami Istri yang Belum Memiliki Anak

Children are a gift and at the same time trust from Allah SWT. After marriage one of the things that awaited by the couple is the presence of a baby in the middle of the family, but not a few phenomena in the field of couples who have not been blessed with children, this condition causes feelings of anxiety, because of the demands of the couple or family of the couple and comparison with other couples who have have children, this condition certainly provides its own psychological effects for couples. Based on this phenomenon, there are two problems examined in this paper, namely; 1) What is the psychological dynamics of a married couple who do not have children, 2). How are the efforts made by married couples in overcoming psychological problems. This type of research used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. There were ten informants in the study, consisting of six husband and wife couples who did not have children and four supporting informants. The results found that (1) psychological dynamics that occur in married couples who do not have children in East Kikim sub-district, viewed from the emotional aspects of changing at the beginning of marriage, husband and wife do not feel there is a burden, but with increasing age of marriage and not yet blessed with children, making them feel anxious and worried, even because they have been married for decades and still do not have children, so they surrender. Seen from the aspect of adjustment, there are several couples in interacting with the family environment, neighbors or the community does not experience difficulties, but there are also those who experience difficulties in adjusting. Viewed from the aspect of motivation there are some couples who get support and advice from family and neighbors, but there are also those who only support each other between the husband and wife. positive activities such as religious activities, convince yourself that this condition can certainly be bypassed and then do activities that you like, while also doing medical or herbal treatment

Strategi Work-Family Balance pada Perempuan Suku Banjar yang Memiliki Peran Ganda

This study aims to determine work-family balance strategies in women who have a dual role especially in Banjar women and to know the factors that influence the achievement of balanced work family. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with interview data collection methods. The research subjects were selected by using purposive sampling technique. The results of the study are related to strategies in balancing work and family that are done by the subject, namely 1) making the best use of time, time management, completing work on time, separating work and family matters, making special schedules to spend with children and other family members every Saturday Sunday or holiday, and prioritize important days for families and children such as child shows and others that indeed our existence becomes important for our families 2) monitor the family while working for example by making a single call to the child to check the situation even there are parents or household assistants who guard them, 3) share roles with husbands. Furthermore, the factors that influence the achievement of balance are 1) partner support 2) commitment at the beginning of marriage 3) the same experience of the husband. The implication of this study is that it can provide an overview related to work-family balance strategies in women who have multiple roles. Work-family balance is important for everyone because if the multiple roles run are not balanced then it is likely to lead to family and work conflicts.

Marital Satisfaction of Iranian Deaf Women: The Role of a Life Skills Training Program

Given that marital satisfaction and the factors influencing it are of high importance among deaf women, the present study aimed to examine the impact of life skills training on the marital satisfaction of deaf women in the Iranian Deaf Association (IDA). A multiple-baseline, single-case experimental design was conducted. The statistical population consisted of all deaf women in the IDA during 2014-2015. A total of 3 deaf women who met the inclusion criteria were selected using a purposeful sampling method. They participated in a 9-session life skills training program for 45 minutes a week. The instrument used in the present study was the 47-item version of the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (EMS). The data from repeated measures was processed using the trend comparison charts, and the clinical significance of the data was determined using the recovery rate formula. The results from the trend comparison charts, recovery rate formula, and visual analysis showed that the life skills training improved the marital satisfaction of the samples. According to the study findings, it can be concluded that life skills training improves the marital satisfaction among deaf women. Therefore, the method used in the present study can be recognized as an appropriate method in psycho-educational interventions for strengthening family foundation and improving marriage durability of deaf couples at the beginning of marriage.

Changes of marital behavior and family patterns in post-socialist countries: Delayed, incomplete or specific second demographic transition?

The paper starts by questioning the theory of second demographic transition (SDT) and its universal relevance in the field of marriage behavior and family organization in low fertility context, arguing for more differentiated approaches. With an aim to illustrate the contextual specifics of post-socialist countries in general and of Serbia in particular, the author claims that analyzed changes have not just been delayed or incomplete in comparison to more developed European countries, but shaped by specific modernization processes, which led to rationally developed strategies in overcoming structural risks, although, without ideational changes typical to the theory of SDT. Slow changes in marital behavior and family organization in Serbia are illustrated in recent sociological (empirical) research findings. The perceived changes are linked to specific structural risks (war, slow transformation and enduring economic hardships, weak state and low trust in institutions, etc) and value characteristics (persistence of materialism and traditionalism, but with increasing ambivalence). The connection between structural and ideational changes is considered through social stratification variable by relying on Coale's model on necessary preconditions for behavioral changes as well as on social deprivation concept. Having in mind upper social strata (more educated and better off), the value changes precede the behavioral that are adapted to economic uncertainty, which still force more traditional marital and family patterns. Therefore, there is a rank of different options, from extended family (for a short period at the beginning of marriage or after divorce) to separated leaving (of married partners) in parental households (due to refusing the extended family option thus creating quite specific "living apart together" form), combined with dominant strategy of prolonging the marriage. Hence, for upper social strata, marriage is still a universal but negotiable institution since more alternative options (although attractive and in accordance to changing values) are deemed irrational (have no obvious benefit). As regards the lower social strata (less educated and worse off), marriage is more in accordance with their higher inclination to traditional values, but general value liberalization legitimizes possible failures (divorces, extra marital births), which, even if not desired or economically rational, happen due to lower capacity to command life. For that reason, cohabitations and extra marital births are more common among actors at the lower end of the stratification ladder. The paper concludes that adaptive strategies related to traditional patterns of family organization dominate in Serbia, which might be illustrated by the fact that every third of one parent families lives in extended families. Even with significant structural changes (and economic improvements) in Serbia in the near future it is realistic to expect familism as an influential context, which suggests the spreading of cohabitation primarily as a pre- marital option (but more desired than forced).

Communication Behaviors as Predictors of Long-Term Dyadic Adjustment: Personality as a Moderator

Abstract —In this longitudinal study, we examined the moderating role of personality in the relationship between communication behaviors and long-term dyadic adjustment. A sample of 82 couples completed the NEO Five-Factor Inventory and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. These couples were also videotaped during a 15-minute problem-solving discussion. Approximately 2.5 years later, these couples completed again the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Results show that personality of both men and women moderates the relationship between communication behaviors of the partner and long-term dyadic adjustment of the individual. Women’s openness and men’s extraversion moderate the relationship between some communication behaviors and long-term dyadic adjustmen t Keywords — Communication Behavior, Couples, Dyadic Adjustment, Personality. I. I NTRODUCTION HE way couples deal with their inevitable conflicts seems to be a powerful predictor of couples’ adjustment and stability [1]-[5]. Observation of couples’ behavior during conflict-solving interactions has been a very informative way to study factors leading to marital stability and satisfaction. Marital distress has been linked with more negativity and less positivity during conflicts, negative reciprocity and difficulty getting out of the negative reciprocity cycle [1] as well as negative non-verbal communication [6]. Unhappy couples display, among others, more criticism, dominance and withdrawal, and less support and problem-solving behaviors [7] and the demand-withdraw pattern of interaction has been linked repeatedly to marital satisfaction, albeit in a inconsistent way [8], [9]. The level of positive and negative behaviors has been related to how fast marital satisfaction drops over time but not to satisfaction at the beginning of marriage [10]. However, it seems that positive affect neutralizes aversive behaviors so that they do not affect the decline of marital quality [11]. Despite the relationships found between observed couple interactions and marital satisfaction, relatively few studies have relied on observational data and

KDRT DALAM PERKAWINAN KANONIK Tinjauan Yuridis

Domestic violence usually happens because of wrong understanding on human dignity and family life. Violence against wife or husband or children is a concrete prove that a couple excludes the essential ends of marriage, which are the good of spouses (bonum coniugum) and the good of offspring (bonum prolis) as mentioned in canon 1055§1 of the Code of Canon Law. Therefore, domestic violence which is occurred from the beginning of marriage, makes the marriage invalid. According to the Code of Canon Law, the parties have a right to process an anullement of their marriage based on domestic violence as caput nullitatis. This article seeks to study the so called KDRT (violence in family) from the perspective of the Canon Law and its implication to possibility of anullement of marriage.

Prenatal expectations and marital satisfaction over the transition to parenthood.

Associations among prenatal expectations, the extent to which expectations were confirmed or disconfirmed, and trajectories of marital satisfaction over the transition to parenthood were assessed 7-11 times in a sample of newlywed couples. Piecewise growth curve analyses were conducted to examine levels of marital satisfaction at the beginning of marriage and rates of change over 2 periods: from the beginning of marriage through the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and from the 3rd trimester of pregnancy through 18 months postpartum. Postpartum marital decline was greater than decline from marriage through pregnancy. Spouses who were more satisfied at the beginning of marriage reported higher expectations. There was marked variability in the extent to which prenatal expectations were confirmed; some expectations were unfulfilled, others were met, and still others were surpassed. Associations between the extent to which expectations were confirmed and rates of change in marital decline differed as a function of the specific type of expectation. Implications for understanding vulnerability and resiliency in couples negotiating the transition to parenthood are discussed.

CASE REPORT: Management of Honeymoon Impotence

ABSTRACT Introduction Honeymoon impotence can be defined as the failure to be successfully involved in sexual intercourse at the beginning of marriage, particularly in the first few nights. While its exact causes are not yet elucidated, many studies recognize this problem as related to performance anxiety. Aim The aim of this study was to report the outcome of management of patients with honeymoon impotence. Methods and Main Outcome Measures This study included 100 consecutive patients presenting to our department complaining of failed sexual intercourse since the beginning of their marriage. History taking, completion of the abridged form of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire, and combined intracavernous injection and stimulation and nocturnal penile tumescence monitoring were performed. Penile duplex was performed to elucidate vascular insufficiency. All psychogenic patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) were treated with sildenafil and sex therapy. All organic ED patients were treated either with sildenafil alone or combined therapy with either intracavernous prostaglandin E1 or vacuum constriction device. Results Seventy-four patients had psychogenic ED and 26 patients had vasculogenic ED. All psychogenic ED patients were treated successfully with sildenafil and sex therapy. Twenty-two patients with vasculogenic ED were treated successfully with sildenafil or combined therapy, while four patients needed venous surgery. Minimal side effects of all treatment modalities occurred throughout the study. Conclusions Management of honeymoon impotence requires profound diagnosis of its causative factors. Treating physicians in areas with high prevalence of this condition should be ready to manage this problem with vigilant systematic overture. A combined approach of sildenafil and sex therapy proved highly effective in treatment of honeymoon impotence of psychogenic origin; however, controlled studies are needed. Other patients showing functional erectile abnormalities should be treated accordingly.

Profiles of Fertility, Labour Supply and Wages of Married Women: A Complete Life-Cycle Model

Trends in fertility and female labor supply have changed dramatically since World War II. Fertility rates rose steadily from the 1940's until the early 1960's and thereafter declined, while female laborforce participation rates have continually grown since the 1950's. These 2 rates are closely linked. Labor supply and fertility decisions are also life-cycle decisions. In addition, wage and job prospects are related to job choice and in turn to fertility decisions. Labor supply, fertility, and wages are linked in an econometric model which takes into account the problems of heterogeneity of tastes, the problem of missing wage rates through nonworking, and the problem of simultaneous-equations bias. Past works are critiqued, mainly on the basis that few analyses recognize the interrelatedness of fertility and labor supply in any sense--static or dynamic. Nor do most researchers consider age-specific fertility equations in analyzing female labor supply. Moffitt's model is a beginning analysis of fertility and labor supply as a joint consumer-demand choice. Patterns of a couple's future consumption, wife's labor supply, and births are assumed to be planned at the beginning of marriage. These patterns depend on the constraints of budget, fertility, and of inverse production (the differing amounts of time it takes to care for a child as the child matures) as well as wage accumulation. Exogenous wealth and beginning wages are considered as well. This model does not account for a woman's work experience prior to marriage. According to the model, fertility rates rise in the 1st year of marriage and subsequently fall off. Employment rates drop off at an accelerating rate until the 6th year of marriage and then increase. A rise in wage level decreases the probability of birth and increases the probability ow working. Also, changes in fertility rates have more to do with wage changes than with a woman's cohort.

The Estimation of Fertility Equations on Panel Data

This discussion focuses on some of the econometric issues that arise when one tries to estimate fertility equations on panel data sets of individual (micro) observations. As far as this author knows there has been only 1 published study (Heckman and Willis 1976) in which micro panel fertility equations were formally estimated. Most fertility equations estimated in other studies have used completed fertility rather than the number of children at each point in time as the dependent variable have used cross section rather than panel data and/or have used grouped rather than micro data. This paper presents estimates of micro panel fertility questions. The dynamic content of panel data directs attention to the timing of fertility in contrast to the focus on completed fertility with for example a cross section of data for women past childbearing ages. A point of departure is to modify the standard static demand for completed fertility model into an intertemporal model by means of a life cycle model with complete certainty. In such a model a couple at the beginning of marriage considers several lifetime budgetconstraints: the usual income expenditure constraint requiring that money expenditures over the lifetime on all goods including children equal total lifetime resources including nonwage income and the discounted value of the earnings of the husband and wife; a production function constraint showing the amount of the wifes time that must be devoted to childbearing; a human capital constraint showing the effect of being out of the labor force on future wages; and the usual time constraint in which the wifes available time is exhausted by time in leisure in childbearing (and associated housework) and in market work. Given the knowledge of the prices potential wage rates and other variables in these constraints the couple would choose a lifetime profile of all goods that yield utility including the number of children at each time K1. To provide an empirical illustration of the estimation techniques several fertility equations were estimated with data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women (NLS). Both a tobit equation for the number of children and a probit equation adjusted for the truncation of the error term from below (as a result of the fact that the number of children cannot fall) were shown to yield similar estimates.

The Quality of Marriage and the Passage of Time: Marital Satisfaction over the Family Life Cycle

This paper examines the effect of the passage of time on the quality of marriage. A devel- opmental approach is employed and marital satisfaction and happiness among a sample of Calgarian couples are assessed over the family life cycle. The evidence reveals a consistent pattern, showing a curvilinear association between marital satisfaction and stage in the family life cycle for both hus- bands and wives. Marital satisfaction declines steadily from the beginning of marriage to the period when children exit the family unit. From then on, all couples experience increased marital satisfac- tion as they move through the post-parental period into retirement. The introduction of control vari- ables revealed significant gender differences, but did not destroy the original curvilinear relationship. The data demonstrate the way in which the intersecting of family and work roles affects husbands and wives variedly as they face role strains at different transitional points in the family life cycle. Both our research strategy and the results obtained underline the unitary character of family and work relations and thus demonstrate the usefulness of conceptualizing the family as a unit with a set of developmental task requirements inside and outside the household.
