Abstract

Fostering marital relationships is desirable by everyone with the aim to achieve happiness and satisfaction in life. In the past, women were identical with the roles and responsibilities to take care of the family, in contrast to present days, where women also get the opportunity to make a living either to help the husband support the family’s economy or for her self-actualization. Several studies have shown that the dual role of the wife influences marital satisfaction and subjective well-being of the husband. This research was conducted to find the relationship between marital satisfaction and subjective well-being of husbands whose wives are also employed. The measurement of marital satisfaction uses ENRICH Marital Inventory and the measurement of subjective well-being uses a SWB measurement tool made by the Research and Measurement Board of the Faculty of Psychology, Tarumanagara University. This research uses quantitative research method in the form of Google form questionnaire to obtain data from 69 participants. The results showed r (69) = 0.389 and p = 0.001 <0.05 so that it can be concluded that there is a positive and significant relationship between marital satisfaction variable and subjective well-being variable. More specifically, there is a positive and significant relationship between marital satisfaction and subjective well-being of a husband with a working wife so that it can be concluded that the higher the level of marital satisfaction of a husband, the higher the subjective well-being he has.
