Abstract
Marital satisfaction is a subjective feeling that a couple feels about their marriage, including feelings of happiness, satisfaction and the pleasant things they experience. This research aims to determine and empirically test the relationship between marital satisfaction and emotional expression in couples who live with their parents. The number of participants in this study was 67 subjects who lived in the same house as their parents. This research uses a quantitative (correlational) research design. The measuring instruments used in this research were the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction (EMS) developed by Fowers & Olson (1993) and the Sel-Expressiveness in the Family Questionnaire (1995). The results of this study state that there is a significant positive relationship between marital satisfaction and the expression of positive emotions and there is a significant positive relationship between marital satisfaction and the expression of negative emotions. Data from different tests and demographic correlation tests (gender, age, age at marriage, number of children, and income) are subject to further discussion.
