“…Going further with the results of the current study, relationship satisfaction also correlates with forgiveness, being consistent with previous research where positive aspects of forgiveness have been found to influence relationship outcomes (McCullough et al, 1998). In our present analysis, forgiving one's partner proves to have an interesting dynamic with satisfaction.…”

“…Although attempts to integrate forgiveness into broader theories of marriage hardly exist, researchers have conceptualized forgiveness in a plethora of ways (Fincham et al, 2006). Throughout the present study, we define forgiveness as a set of prosocial motivational changes that take place within a relationship, so that the offended partner becomes less vengeful, less avoidant and more benevolent toward his/her transgressing relationship partner (McCullough et al, 1998). Recent models suggest that forgiveness incorporates at least two dimensions (Fincham & Beach, 2002).…”

The main purpose of the present research is to explore the influence of religiousness on couple commitment, drawing from previous studies where religiousness was confirmed as a strong predictor for positive relationship outcomes. We also aim to analyze relationship satisfaction as a mediating variable between religiousness and commitment. Furthermore, the study seeks to investigate forgiveness in dyadic romantic relationships, testing its role as a moderator of the association between relationship satisfaction and commitment. The procedure includes the recruitment of heterosexual students enrolled in post-graduate courses and their partners to take part in the present study. The final sample consists of 116 individuals involved in romantic relationships. All participants filled in a series of validated self-reported measures, providing data which was analyzed using parametric statistical tests. Additionally, we conducted mediation and moderation analyses. Results indicate that relationship satisfaction is positively associated with commitment, whereas religiousness is positively associated with relationship satisfaction, thus having an indirect effect on commitment. Additionally, considering overall forgiveness as well as the negative vs. positive components of the construct, we find that positive forgiveness is associated with commitment, when satisfaction is also considered in the equation. The current results have important therapeutic implications, such as using forgiveness-related therapies for couples and enhancing relationship satisfaction as means to consolidate relationship commitment.

“…With research that supports the therapeutic effectiveness of acts such as forgiveness, science can gain a new respect for theology and the importance of spiritual well-being. As a result, a variety of clients may greatly benefit from this new "friendship" (McCullough, Sandage, & Worthington, 1995). Furthermore, pastors and others who work within churches can reach out to one another with confidence that they can promote ideas that are not only biblically relevant, but also suggested to be effective through empirical study.…”

The need for empirical research that contributes to the prevention and arrest of marital distress is increasing. Factors identified through research as being influential in the stability of marriage include intimacy, positive behaviors, social support, good communication, and conflict management. Although a variety of marital enrichment programs that address these same factors do exist, this current study addresses two particular marital enrichment programs: Hope-Focused, and Forgiveness and Reconciliation through Experiencing Empathy (FREE). Couples volunteered to participate in a study of newly married couples (5 months or less) and were then divided into three groups. Two of these groups received approximately 9 hours of marital enrichment and the third group was designated as a control group. The impact of these programs on the couples’ quality of life, as determined by the Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI(r)), was examined. Quality of life was found to significantly improve with the administration of a hope-focused marital enrichment program. It approached significance in couples who participated in a forgiveness-based program. In addition, levels of religious commitment and the individual's disposition to forgive are also studied in their relation to overall quality of life. Implications of this study include the application of brief marital enrichment as a preventive measure that could be both cost- and time-conserving. Furthermore, the use of forgiveness training in the therapeutic settings may be beneficial and contribute to individuals’ well-being.

“…Forgiveness is a way to reduce negative impulses that damage a relationship (Mccullough, 2001). Forgiveness given by victims of domestic violence wife to perpetrators of victims of domestic violence is influenced by several factors, including marriage commitments, length of marriage that has been fostered, socioeconomic status, and worrying about the fate of their households, children, families (Ariyani & Qonita, 2018;Mccullough et al, 1998;Prianto, Wulandari, & Rahmawati, 2013;Worthington, 1999). Domestic violence certainly has a negative impact on victims, both physical and psychological.…”

Forgiveness in this study is an apology from victims of domestic violence to perpetrators of domestic violence. The number of cases of domestic violence that occur is increasing from year to year, as victims of domestic violence choose to maintain their household, even though the victim is undergoing a household that experiences violence. Many ways are used by victims in maintaining their household, one of them is by giving forgiveness to perpetrators of domestic violence. This study aims to analyze how forgiveness of victims of domestic violence in Aceh province. The method used is the quantitative approach and the type of comparative descriptive research. The population in this study was the wife who was a victim of domestic violence in the city of Banda Aceh by taking a sample using a purposive sampling technique, the sample in this study was 31 victims of domestic violence. This study uses a self-composed instrument namely Forgiveness Scale for Domestic Violence (FosDiV) developed from the TRIM-18 questionnaire using a Likert scale model. Data analysis techniques in this study used quantitative descriptive. The results of this study indicate that overall forgiveness of victims of domestic violence in Aceh is in the medium category, which means they assume that giving forgivenees to perpetrators of domestic violence is a natural thing to do as a wife. In Aceh culture, a wife who is obedient and obedient to her husband is very important, wives feel happy when they are called by the term "meutuah" wife. The word "meutuah" is well-liked by wives in Aceh. Besides that, it can be seen that victims who do not work more to close their cases for fear of not being supported by the perpetrators and feel that victims must depend on the perpetrators so that victims decide to maintain their domestic relations by apologizing to the perpetrators. Whereas victims who have their jobs are braver to report their cases and even choose to divorce and criminalize the perpetrators. It is hoped that the results of this research can help community institutions and other communities to jointly pay attention to the situation of victims of domestic violence and immediately report the case to the authorities, and can help victims of domestic violence to be able to lead a better life.
