MARITAL INTERACTION AND MARITAL ROLE ON MARITAL SATISFACTION OF DUAL EARNER FAMILY WITH SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN

Lack of interaction and communication between husband and wife in various aspects of family life will cause conflict and disharmony. The purpose of the study was to identify interactions, husband-wife roles, and marital satisfaction of dual earner families with school children. The study involved 60 families consisting of 30 husbands and 30 non-partnered wives who are workers in Bandung Regency, West Java. Data were collected online using voluntary sampling technique. Husband-wife interaction was in the moderate category, husband-wife roles were in the low category for husbands and moderate for wives, and marital satisfaction was in the moderate category. The correlation test results show that there is a positive significant relationship between family income, husband-wife interaction, and husband-wife roles with marital satisfaction. The regression test results show that age, husband-wife interaction, the bonding and balanced relationship dimensions of the husband-wife interaction variable, and the social activity dimension of the husband-wife role variable have a positive effect on marital satisfaction. In increasing marital satisfaction, husband and wife are expected to be good at managing emotions, adjusting themselves, maintaining conjugal interactions, strengthening bonding and balanced relationships, and carrying out social activities.


INTRODUCTION
Marriage is a social bond and a legal agreement based on religion between a man and a woman to form a legal relationship, namely a husband-wife relationship that aims to form a family. In Indonesia, marriage has been regulated in law number 16 of 2019, which means that marriage is a physical and mental bond between a man and a woman as husband and wife with the aim of forming a happy and eternal family (household) Marital satisfaction can be influenced by several factors, including interaction factors and the role of husband and wife. Husband-wife interaction is a reciprocal relationship between husband and wife which is a determining factor in marital quality (Tyas et al., 2017). The continuity of daily family life is greatly influenced by the interactions that develop between husband and wife. In line with Wheathley (2014), husband and wife harmony is influenced by the interactions and attachments that are built. Positive interactions will provide comfort, warmth, and a sense of mutual protection between husband and wife (Wheatley, 2014). Husband-wife interaction is useful for maintaining family harmony in husband-wife role activities. Good interaction between husband and wife will optimize marital quality (Allendorf & Ghimire, 2013). In addition, interaction mediates role activity and marital satisfaction (Kluwer et al., 1997).
Role is the position or status of a person in carrying out their rights and obligations and is a dynamic aspect of carrying out a role (Soekanto, 2002). Roles in the family are the differentiation of roles between husband and wife, which is a structural prerequisite for the survival of the nuclear family. (Megawangi, 1999). Husbands and wives interact with each other and have a role in maintaining marriage. The roles of husband and wife are divided into domestic roles, public roles, and social activity roles (Ministry of Women's Empowerment (KPP); Puspitawati, 2012). The domestic role is that husbands and wives carry out their roles in maintaining and caring for the family such as caring for children and preparing meals, usually this work is done by the wife. The public role is to seek income outside the home, which is usually done by the husband. Finally, the role of social activities is activities related to the community. This role is needed to maintain balance in achieving family goals. According to Puspitawati (2012), the factors that influence roles are the frequency of family planning, family per capita income, and the problems faced by the family (Puspitawati, 2012).
Dual earner family is a family that has a double income from a husband and wife who work in the public sector. Dual earner family interaction will be reduced due to forced conditions that require both of them to share roles in taking care of the family so that marital satisfaction is maintained. Roles in dual earner families do not have to be equal in every way. Husbands and wives can complement each other's roles in the family. In families who have more than one child, the husband and wife's focus is divided into spouse, work, school children, and younger siblings of school children. At the developmental stage of families with school-age children, the wife's marital satisfaction decreases compared to the husband's marital satisfaction during the transition period of children entering school (Hirschberger et al., 2009). The developmental stage of families with school-age children can be said to be a family stage prone to marital dissatisfaction. Marital satisfaction of families with school-age children is also influenced by parental involvement in childcare. Parents who are not directly involved in childcare tend to experience marital dissatisfaction, and marital dissatisfaction will have an impact on the psychology of school-age children (Fishman & Meyers, 2000).
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the government issued Decree No. 719/P/2020 on the implementation of the curriculum in educational units in special conditions, orange and red zone areas are prohibited from conducting face-to-face schools, so that schools are carried out by Learning from Home (BDR). This policy adds new work for parents to accompany school children in the learning process at home, starting from technical matters to teaching school materials. A situation like this has an impact on the activities of the husband-wife role, so there must be well-developed interactions between the two in achieving marital satisfaction. The pandemic affects the relationship between spouses and the quality of parental care for school children. The Covid-19 pandemic challenges parents' ability and energy to carry out their full responsibilities as parents. In a study aimed at examining the psychological well-being and effects of home quarantine on marital satisfaction and spousal fatigue from caregiving responsibilities during the Covid-19 virus in Iran showed that, the effect of Covid-19 quarantine at home significantly affected wife fatigue higher than husband fatigue, but marital satisfaction and husband psychological well-being were higher than marital satisfaction and wife psychological well-being. (Mousavi, 2020). The results of another study on wives in Israel showed that the fear of COVID-19 significantly affected wives' health and marital satisfaction (Reizer et al., 2020).
Marital satisfaction is different based on the perceptions of husbands and wives, so this study tries to compare them. Marital satisfaction is influenced by gender. Marital satisfaction in wives has a lower satisfaction score compared to the marital satisfaction score in husbands (Jackson, 2014). This is due to the double burden that working wives must accept between career and family care simultaneously. This situation can lead to fatigue and boredom in the wife. Marital satisfaction in husbands is influenced by intimacy, while marital satisfaction in wives is influenced by the wife's perception of marriage (Merves-Okin et al., 2014). Marital satisfaction is very important for married couples. However, in the field there is still a lot of marital dissatisfaction between husband and wife. This is evidenced by research conducted on employees of PT PLN (Persero) in Semarang which shows that marital satisfaction in husbands who have working wives is in the low category. (Sari & Fauziah, 2016). Another study was conducted on wives in Bogor Regency, the results showed that wives had low average marital satisfaction (Tyas et al., 2017). When husbands and wives are dissatisfied with their marriages, this will cause conflict that can lead to divorce. High spousal conflict results in low marital satisfaction (Haseley, 2006). The trend of marital satisfaction has decreased every year, this is in line with the increase in divorce in Indonesia. The divorce rate is a reflection of marital dissatisfaction in a society. If the divorce rate is high, the marital dissatisfaction rate is high. Article 19 section F of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975 states that one of the accepted grounds for divorce is quarrels and disputes and there is no hope of reconciliation between the two.
Lack of interaction between husband and wife will lead to less harmonious relationships between husband and wife. (Wheatley, 2014). In line with research by Kadangwako and Nelly (2013), the lack of interaction and communication between husband and wife in various aspects of family life will cause conflict and disharmony. The level of participation of wives working in the public sector makes wives vulnerable to family and work conflicts. In addition, working mothers allocate less time for personal activities, taking care of the house, caring for children, and organizations than non-working mothers. Wives who work in the public sector tend to experience difficulties interacting with family, limited time interacting with children, and difficulty in making decisions in role activities with their spouses. Working wives experience housework problems related to doing housework, childcare, lack of time available for children and husband-wife interaction or relationship problems. (Rizkillah, 2013).
One government policy that has an impact on family life is BDR (Learning from Home). The BDR policy requires school children to study at home, so husbands and wives must reorganize role activities in the family. Husbands and wives must interact with each other in dividing roles between work and family. This role must be fair and balanced, if it is not fair and balanced, there will be dissatisfaction in marriage (Putri & Lestari, 2015). Based on the previous explanation, the purpose of this study is to identify interactions, husband-wife roles, and marital satisfaction of dual earner families with school children.

METHODS
This study used a cross sectional study design, which is research conducted at only one specific time. The research was conducted comparatively by comparing marital satisfaction in working husbands and wives who have children. The research location was in Bandung Regency, West Java. The location selection was carried out by purposive sampling with the consideration that Bandung Regency had a female workforce in 2018 of 545.633 out of 1.584.391 workers (BPS, 2018). The research began in March 2021 which included preparation, data collection, data management, data analysis, and preparation of research reports.
The population of this study is dual earner families who have school children in Bandung Regency, West Java. The sample determination was conducted by nonprobability sampling involving 60 families. The sample criteria were married couple, living together, husband and wife working in the public sector (dual earner family), and having school-age children. The sampling in this study used the voluntary sampling method, which determines the sample in the field that fits the criteria and is willing to voluntarily fill out an 129 Wulansari & Krisnatuti JCFCS online questionnaire distributed through social media Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. The distributed questionnaires were collected through google form.
Family characteristics included age of husband and wife, length of marriage, years of education, type of employment, and family income. Husband-wife interaction includes 11 questions that are modified from Chuang's (2005) instrument with the dimensions of bonding, partnership, communication, and balanced relationships (Puspitawati, 2012). Modifications made in the form of translation into Indonesian, addition and subtraction of questions adapted to the needs of the study. The Cronbach's alpa value for husband-wife interaction is 0,912. The role of husband and wife has 16 questions consisting of domestic, public, and social activity dimensions which are modifications of the Krzaklewska (2004) and Maulana (2019) instruments. Modifications made in the form of translation into Indonesian, adding and subtracting questions are adjusted to the needs of the study. The Cronbach's alpa value for spousal roles is 0,769. Marital satisfaction has 19 questions consisting of 7 dimensions, namely conflict resolution, affection, economic conditions, children, religious orientation, and communication referred from Fower and Olson (1993). Modifications were made by combining several dimensions, translating, and adding items. The Cronbach's alpa value for marital satisfaction is 0,950. on the variables of husband-wife interaction and husband-wife roles, five answers are provided which are scored, if never scored 1, ever scored 2, sometimes scored 3, often scored 4, and always scored 5.

Relationship between characteristics, Husband-Wife Interaction, Husband-Wife Role, and Marital Satisfaction
The results of the correlation test (Table 4) show that education is significantly positively related to husbandwife interaction, meaning that the higher the education, the higher the husband-wife interaction that occurs. The role of husband and wife is significantly positively related to husband and wife interaction, meaning that the more often they do role activities, the higher the interaction between husband and wife. Marital status, length of marriage, family size, number of children, and husband-wife interaction are significantly positively related to husband-wife role activities. This means that the longer the wife is married, the larger the number of family members, the more the number of children, the more often the husband and wife interact, the more frequent role activities are carried out. Family income, husband-wife interaction, and husband-wife roles are significantly related to marital satisfaction, meaning that the higher the income, the more often husband and wife interact and role activities, the higher the marital satisfaction.

DISCUSSION
The theory used in the research is functional structural theory. Functional structural theory views social systems as balanced, harmonious, and sustainable (Puspitawati, 2013). Functional structural analyzes family functions in order to function properly and emphasizes the aspect of stable balance (Puspitawati, 2012). This theory has a concept in which there is a structure in the family; there are roles, duties and responsibilities; there are family goals; there are rules and norms; and there is homeostatis, which emphasizes dynamic equilibrium (Puspitawati, 2012). Marriage is a social bond and a legal agreement between husband and wife. One indicator of marital success is marital satisfaction (Dwi & Khusnul, 2017). Marital satisfaction is influenced by how well a married couple can fulfill each other's needs and their own (Lasswell & Laswell, 2002). Marital satisfaction is based on feelings of happiness, contentment, and pleasant experiences with a partner (Fowers & Olson, 1993).
The main findings in this study are that age, husband-wife interaction, bonding, balanced relationships, and social activities have a significant positive effect on marital satisfaction. According to Jose and Alpons (2007), age and length of marriage affect life adjustment, which in turn affects marital satisfaction. In marriage, the husband's age is more dominant in influencing marital satisfaction (Rahmaita et al., 2016). The husband's maturity of thinking and sense of responsibility will make the husband able to make good decisions for his family, this is influenced by age maturity (Nurpratiwi, 2011).
Marital satisfaction is also influenced by the total interaction of husband and wife. Interaction is useful in maintaining family harmony and harmony to achieve marital satisfaction (Zulkaida, 2013). Good interaction between husband and wife will optimize marital quality (Allendorf & Ghimire, 2013). In addition, the interaction dimension related to bonding also affects marital satisfaction. Bonding is a close bond that involves emotionally between two people (Santrock, 2007). Husbands and wives who have strong bonding will have mutual trust in each other and feel safe. Hugging a partner and expressing affection are forms of bonding done by husbands and wives in the study. Furthermore, the dimension of a balanced relationship as a dimension of husband-wife interaction affects marital satisfaction. In a study conducted by Ashwini (2018), it was shown that a balanced relationship had a significant positive effect on marital satisfaction, but there were no differences in marital satisfaction in husbands and wives. Mutual respect and solving problems together is one form of a balanced relationship in research.
One dimension of the husband-wife role in social activities also affects marital satisfaction. Husbands and wives who often engage in social activities are likely to get high social support. High social support is significantly positively related to marital satisfaction. In accordance with research conducted in Malaysia, it shows that there is a significant positive influence between social support and wife's marital satisfaction (Arifain, 2021). In the study, the social activities carried out were community service work, visiting sick neighbors or relatives, and attending holiday celebrations in the neighborhood.
Other findings show that family income, husband-wife interaction, and husband-wife roles are significantly positively related to marital satisfaction. This is in line with Fower and Olson's (1993) research that economic management is one of the factors of marital satisfaction. Marital satisfaction is formed based on mutual understanding between spouses, this can be realized by expressing what is wanted appropriately (Gottman & Krokoff, 1989). In a healthy family there are clear roles, roles exist in a harmonious family structure and commitment is important in implementing these roles (Puspitasari et al., 2013). The assumption that husbands and wives' marital satisfaction are different is not proven. This is because working wives usually have higher happiness and satisfaction with their marriages than non-working wives. According to Abbott (1992) this is usually due to wives who are not dependent on their husbands, have their own income, have high self-esteem, and a wide and varied social circle. Couples with children tend to be happier than those without children (Duvall & Miller, 1985). Working couples have a higher economic status, which allows them to have better access to support systems and resources such as childcare, daycare, and domestic help (Ochsner, 2012). Working husbands and wives can build marital satisfaction through cooperation in child care. In line with Anggraeni (2012), husbands who participate in helping to take care of children assess that they are more meaningful than just making money for the family. In working couples, finances are not a problem that affects marital satisfaction, this happens because the wife does not depend entirely on the husband (Suryani, 2012). This is in line with Duvall and Miller (1985) that marital satisfaction is supported by an adequate family economy. In addition, wives who work generally feel more meaningful in the eyes of their husbands and families and have high self-esteem (Abbot, 1992).

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
The average age of the husband was 30,2 years and the wife was 30,3 years, and more than half of the husbands and wives worked as permanent laborers. Family income was at IDR8.000.000 per month. More than half of the husbands and wives had a high school education. Husband-wife interaction was in the moderate category. There is no significant difference between husband and wife interaction. Husband-wife roles were in the low category for husbands and moderate for wives. There is a significant difference between the roles of husbands and wives. Marital satisfaction is in the medium category. There is no significant difference between husband and wife marital satisfaction. The results of the relationship test show that husband-wife interaction and husband-wife roles are related to marital satisfaction, which means that the more often husband and wife interact and role activities, the higher marital satisfaction will be. The results of the effect test show that age, husband-wife interaction, the bonding and balanced relationship dimensions of the husband-wife interaction variable, and the social activity dimension of the husband-wife role variable have a positive effect on marital satisfaction.
This means that the older the age, the more often the husband and wife interact, the stronger the bonding and balanced relationship, and the more frequent social activities will increase marital satisfaction. Age, husband-wife interaction, bonding, balanced relationships, and social activities have a positive effect on marital satisfaction. In increasing marital satisfaction, husband and wife are expected to be good at managing emotions, adjusting themselves, maintaining husband-wife interactions, strengthening bonding and balanced relationships, and carrying out social activities. Increasing interactions can be done by chatting with your partner, talking gently with your partner, and reminding each other in kindness. Strengthening bonding can be done by expressing affection and hugging your partner. Enhancing a balanced relationship can be done by respecting your partner and solving problems together with your partner. Increasing social activities can be done by visiting neighbors, visiting sick neighbors, participating in community service, and being friendly to local residents.
