The biggest cause of divorce in 2018 was constant disputes and quarrels with 183,085 cases. Economic factors ranked second with 110,909 cases. While other problems are husband/wife leaving (17.55%), domestic violence (2.15%) and getting drunk (0.85%) (Jayani, 2020). This is certainly a fact that is quite worrying regarding the condition of the family in Indonesian society.

According to Mattessich and Hill (1987), the family is a group that has very close kinship, residence, or emotional relationships that exhibit four things (i.e. intimate interdependence, maintaining selected boundaries, being able to adapt to change and maintaining identity). all the time, and doing family chores).
