Abstract:
The main objective of this study was to explore the relationship between self-disclosure, spiritual maturity, and relationship conflict strategies among interfaith couples towards the creation of an intervention program. Match group method of research was utilized in the study. A total of 100 individuals or 50 interfaith couples were involved in this study. The respondents showed average self-disclosure with a dogmatic spiritual maturity and compromise as their relationship conflict strategy. There were significant differences in age in terms of self-disclosure about attitudes and opinions. The respondents’ sex had significant differences between avoidance and submission. On the other hand, monthly income affects the disclosure about attitudes and opinions, and interactional activity. Likewise, the employment status had differences with domination. Differences were also found between education and spiritual support, spiritual openness, domination, and separation. The length of relationships among couples also affects domination. Moreover, correlation analysis revealed that spiritual support, spiritual openness, and compromise subscales increase, and domination and interactional reactivity decrease. Avoidance positively correlates with work/studies and body, and spiritual support with avoidance. Lastly, the submission subscale negatively correlates with tastes and interests. Qualitative data resulted in the following themes: goals for interpersonal communication, individual attitude, and negotiating goal conflict by avoidance. The researchers proposed cognitive behavioral therapy and spiritual couples counseling for a more positive and cooperative interaction between different religions of the couples.
