Abstract

Marriage is an emotional bond between two individuals who share physical and emotional intimacy and sharing responsibility. Everyone wants to have a harmonious marriage, but there will be a problem that usually occurs in their relationships. Communication occurs in couples is very important for the welfare and harmony of marriage. One of the most important forms of communication is self-disclosure. Self-disclosure is the process of making oneself known by others by verbally expressing thoughts, attitudes, feelings, beliefs and past experiences to a partner. This study aimed to determine the differences in self-disclosure in long-distance married couples and couples who live together using quantitative methods with incidental sampling techniques. This study consisted of 100 samples (25 long-distance married couples and 25 married couples living together). The data were collected using the Marital Self-Disclosure Questionnaire (MSDQ) scale which showed the reliability of coefficient value (α) = 0.907. The results of the Mann-Whitney test analysis (U = 600) and also showed that the significance value (p) = 0,000 (p < 0.05). Based on these results it can be concluded that there are differences in self-disclosure in long-distance married couples and couples who live together. The self-disclosure in long-distance married couples is less than the couples who live together.
