The Importance of Trust and Maintaining Commitment to Couples in Long Distance Marriages
Abstract
Long-distance marriage in couples has problems that are quite risky considering the quantity of communication and gathering is reduced. This requires strengthening commitment so that long-distance marriages can run, and marriages survive. This commitment is thought to be influenced by the strong factor of trust in other partners. Therefore, this study aims to answer the assumption that trust is closely related to long-distance marriage commitment. This research method uses quantitative with purposive sampling techniques that have research subjects as many as 101 pairs. The measuring instruments used are the Commitment scale with a reliability of 0.860 and the Confidence scale with a reliability of 0.899. Both measuring instruments have good reliability and are analyzed using Pearson Product Moment. The results of this study showed that the higher the trust, the stronger the marriage commitment in couples who underwent long-distance marriages. This research shows the implication that long-distance couples should strengthen commitment by increasing trust, which includes the ability of the couple to predict the ability of each partner to assess the possibilities that occur long-distance activity, then the level of dependence means that the couple feels mutual need for each other, and confidence in the partner means that each partner trusts each other, supports each other Other.
