Trust Pada Pasangan Long Distance Marriage

. Marriage is a crucial step toward establishing a harmonious family. After marriage, most couples generally wish to live together in a single house. However, some cannot and end up in a long-distance marriage. This happens due to increasing individual needs and demands, such as job requirements, often forcing married couples to maintain a long-distance relationship. This research aims to explore the perspective of 'trust' among young adult couples undergoing long-distance marriages. This study employs a phenomenological qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews. Three married couples in long-distance relationships participated in this research. The findings indicate varying representations of trust among the couples. Couple 1 described trust in terms of their worries about their partner. Couple 2 defined trust as a sense of resignation to the events they experience with their partners, suggesting that hiding anger will fade and lead to acceptance. Couple 3 described trust as valuing and accepting their partner, even when their thoughts do not align. The overall picture from all participants is that each has their own perspective on life and ways of dealing with the events they face .
