Raisa Putri Ramadhani (2025). Perceptions of Young Adult Marital Satisfaction in Johan Pahlawan District. [Undergraduate Thesis. Syiah Kuala University]. Supervised by Drs. Syaiful Bahri, M.Pd. and Evi Rahmiyati, S.Pd., M.Ed. Marriage is a sacred bond expected to provide happiness, harmony, and stability for couples. However, many young people who marry between the ages of 19 and 23 face various emotional, economic, and social problems that can affect the quality of their household. Marital satisfaction, according to Fowers and Olson, is a couple's overall evaluation of their married life, reflecting their level of commitment and ability to manage their respective responsibilities and roles. This study aims to describe the level of satisfaction among young adult couples in Johan Pahlawan District. The study used a quantitative descriptive approach with a sample of 153 young couples obtained through simple random sampling. The research instrument was the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (EMS), which covers eleven aspects: Personality Issues, Equal Roles, Communication, Conflict Resolution, Financial Management, Recreational Activities, Sexual Relationships, Children and Marriage, Family and Friends, Religious Orientation, and Idealistic Distortion. The results showed that almost half (42.48%) of young marriages were in the moderate category. This means that young couples felt quite satisfied with their marital satisfaction but were not yet fully happy and stable in their marriage. Of the 11 aspects of marital satisfaction, nine were in the low category: Personality Issues, Equal Roles, Communication, Conflict Resolution, Financial Management, Recreational Activities, Sexual Relationships, Children and Marriage, and Family and Friends. Two aspects were in the high category: religious orientation and idealistic distortion. Keywords: Marital Satisfaction, Perception, Young Marriage
