Men and women have differences in conflict resolution styles that tend to be used to

resolve their marital conflicts, and this can affect their marital satisfactions. This study

was conducted to examine whether there is a significant effect of conflict resolution

styles on marital satisfaction in men and women in the first 5 years of marriage, and also

to know whether there is a significant differences of level of marital satisfaction and the

use of conflict resolution styles between men and women. Independent sample t test and

multiple regression tests were conducted on 625 participants (171 men and 454 women)

aged 20-40 years who were in marital relationships with marital duration equal to or less

than 5 years. Conflict resolution was measured by CRSI (Conflict Resolution Styles

Inventory) and marital satisfaction was measured by QMI (Quality of Marriage Index). It

was found that there was a difference in the level of marital satisfaction that men have a

higher level of marital satisfaction than women. It was also found a significant difference

in conflict resolution styles that tend to be used by men and women, where men more

often use positive problem solving and compliance styles, while women more often use

conflict engagement styles. Then, it was also found that there was a significant effect of

conflict engagement, withdrawal, and positive problem solving style on the level of

marital satisfaction, where conflict engagement and withdrawal styles negatively affected

marital satisfaction, whereas positive problem solving style positively affected marital

satisfaction. Finally, conflict resolution style that can best predict the level of marital

satisfaction in both men and women was positive problem solving. It is recommended for

married individuals to apply a conflict resolution style that has a positive influence so that

they can maintain or increase their marital satisfaction
