Abstract

Marriage is the aspiration of almost everyone; it is not merely about finding happiness but is also viewed as worship and adherence to religious principles. In marriage, challenges inevitably arise, and if not managed well, they may lead to divorce. Therefore, readiness and maturity are essential for achieving marital satisfaction. Marital satisfaction represents the subjective evaluation of a couples or an individual's mental state and shared experiences with their partner. This study aims to examine the influence of forgiveness and religiousness on marital satisfaction among married couples in Purwokerto. The research utilizes a quantitative method with multiple regression analysis. Instruments employed include the marital satisfaction scale, forgiveness scale, and religiousness scale. The sample consists of 54 married couples in Purwokerto. Reliability testing using Cronbach's alpha yielded a result of 0.70. The findings of this study reveal a significant influence of forgiveness and religiousness on marital satisfaction among married couples in Purwokerto, as indicated by the calculated F-value of 33.521 and a probability value (p) of 0.000 (p0.05).
