The Satisfaction of Marriage to Men Who Have Been Divorced

Every human yearns for a harmonious household. Men in early adulthood who face tasks and stages of development begin to choose a life partner and build a family. Marriage satisfaction occurs because of the role of themselves and their partners in the marriage. When married, a person must be able to deal with changes in existing roles. If you are able to adjust and have the right partner, then the satisfaction of marriage will be achieved, but not all marriages end in what they expect. According to Hurlock (2002), divorce is the culmination of a poor marriage settlement, and what happens when a husband and wife are no longer able to find ways to resolve problems that can satisfy both parties. After a divorce many doubt that a man can survive alone, many factors that encourage men to get married again after a divorce in the hope of getting marriage satisfaction after divorce and re-marriage. This study aims to determine the satisfaction of marriage in men re-married after divorce. This research is qualitative research with case study design. Three respondents were taken using purposive sampling technique. Data collection uses interviews and observation. The results showed that marital satisfaction occurs due to the fulfilment of factors and aspects of marital satisfaction itself. From the results of the study, the third respondent experienced marital satisfaction because aspects of the satisfaction of the marriage were fulfilled. Unlike the first and second respondents who experienced dissatisfaction in their marriage. This is due to the non-fulfilment of aspects of marital satisfaction, including the absence of good two-way communication and the absence of efforts from respondents to improve relations
