Abstract

This study aims to get an overview of the implementation of effective communication in marriage based on an Islamic perspective. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach in which data collection was earned through in-depth interviews with 11 new couples in Surakarta. Data were analyzed by description, interpretation, and explanation. The main findings of this study indicate that couples use communication principles based on the Qur'an concept in the form of qaulan baligha, qaulan karima, qaulan maisura, qaulan ma'ruf, qaulan layyina, and qaulan sadiida with the situation and cultural background of each partner. The implementation of effective communication involves choosing words, setting the intonation and other aspects of communication, and making the couple's relationship closer and more harmonious. This study also indicates that communication -based on the Qur'an concept made the couples easier to solve problems well.
