PENGAPLIKASIAN ELEMEN-ELEMEN DALAM MEMBINA DAN MERAWAT KELUARGA SAKINAH (Sebuah Tinjauan Sosiologi Hukum Keluarga terhadap Pasangan yang Menjalani Long Distance Relationship)

Abstract

A sakinah family is every couple’s dream. However, sometimes the couple does not understand the internal elements maintain family harmony. Not only that, sometimes things happen that may be unpredictable, one example is the condition when couples have to a long distance relationship (LDR). This condition will certainly cause various problems that befall the family and hamper the implementation of various family functions and other elements, so that it can become a challenge of the sakinah family. This type of research is normative-empirical which will combine literature studies and field studies, but this research is dominated by literature studies, and strengthened by field studies with the help of interview results. The results showthat there are two important points in maintaining the integrity of the household if something unthinkable happens like the condition when couples have to a long distance relationship namely first, by returning to the main orientation, namely as a means of achieving Allah's pleasure as well as worshiping Him, and second, namely returning to the commitment that the couple has built from the beginning of the marriage. These two points can be said to be fulfilling responsibilities to Allah SWT and fulfilling responsibilities to your partner.
