Penelitian dilakukan kepada 99 perempuan dan 87 laki-laki yang sedang berada pada perkawinan pertama dan memiliki anak dengan pasangan saat ini. Teknik pengambilan partisipan menggunakan convenience sampling. Alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu Quality Marriage Index (QMI), Relationship Maintenance Behavior Measure (RMBM), dan alat ukur Perceived Fairness milik Claffey dan Mickelson (2009). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa relationship maintenance behavior dan perceived fairness terbukti dapat memprediksi kepuasan perkawinan. Ketika dianalisis lebih lanjut, terlihat bahwa relationship maintenance behavior memiliki kontribusi yang lebih besar terhadap kepuasan perkawinan (39.49%) dibanding perceived fairness (18.39%).
