%X Marital satisfaction is one of important aspects in a marriage. Marital satisfaction
can be influenced by various factors, one of which is the presence of children. There
are couples who do not have children, but some of them still can maintain a
marriage relationship under the circumstance. This study aims to describe marital
satisfaction in men with childless marriage. This research employed qualitative
approach with phenomenological method. Data were collected using observation
and interview with three male participants who have not had children after more
than five years of marriage. Results showed that all three participants have open
communication with their respective wives. They solve problems through
discussion and have a good, intimate sexual relationship with their spouse. The
participants demonstrate flexibility in carrying out their financial role and assume
that they as well as their wive are able to manage finances well. Furthermore,
findings indicated other factors that influence marital satisfaction, such as trust,
commitment, mutual understanding, good communication, loyalty, patience,
gratitude, knowledge, and religion. Finally, this study concluded that the absence
of children in participants’ marriage is considered a test of life that must be endured
and accepted.
