Based on the result of the research, had been found a conclusion that any individual whether they’re from the husbands or wives group of respondents, both of the group tend to practice positive dyadic coping more rather than negative dyadic coping. The research also shows that both of the husbands and wives group of respondents tend to practice emotionally focused coping on their dyadic coping strategy. Whereas on the husband’s group, their relationship satisfaction is much higher if there’s a lot of intimacy in their marriage.
