Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the relational dialectics strategy of married couples facing the Covid-19 pandemic. There were two couples as interviewees, the first spouse experienced work from home (WFH). The second one whose husband has worked from office (WFO). This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Based on the findings of the data obtained, it shows that the WFH pair is more directed at autonomy, stability and closedness, while the WFO pair refers to connection, change and openness. From the research conducted, researchers can find five things that can cause dialectical tension for couples during a pandemic. First, the closeness of the partner depends on the age and character of the child. Second, work determines the interaction of partners during a pandemic. Third, family backgrounds shape relationships in the family. Fourth, character and personal preferences shape responses in relationships. Finally, adaptations and communication alternatives facing the pandemic. Then the strategies that are mostly used by both partners are segmentation and integration. It is also seen how communication is an important (key) in forming an agreement by adjusting between partners.
