Abstract

This study aims to develop a culturally integrated model of family resilience for early-married couples in Indonesia by incorporating the principles of maqāṣid al-usrah into the KEMENPPPA (Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection) family resilience framework. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research integrates both quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the roles of psychological well-being and interpersonal communication as key resilience factors within young families. The quantitative phase involved the administration of structured surveys to 96 participants, focusing on dimensions such as Family Legality, Physical and Economic Resilience, Social-Psychological Resilience, and Sociocultural Resilience, while integrating Islamic values such as sakīnah, mawaddah, and raḥmah, together with future-oriented hope and satisfaction. In addition, twenty couples participated in in-depth interviews to explore how these Islamic principles shape their marital experiences and resilience. Data analysis employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for the quantitative data and thematic analysis for the qualitative data, thereby providing an integrative understanding of resilience within the sociocultural and religious context of Indonesia. The findings demonstrate that interpersonal skills, namely communication and problem-solving skills, and psychological well-being are essential elements for resilience among early-married couples. These findings have implications for policymakers to include relational and spiritual aspects of family initiatives. This research adds to the global conversation by showing how faith values can support modern approaches to resilience in a cultural context.
