As the world opens up and multicultural interactions increases, the same applies to intercultural relationships. In Indonesia, especially in the capital of Jakarta, people from different backgrounds of culture even countries are often met and some, fall in love. The study aims to understand and discover how individuals married to someone who is from different culture live, and the process of intercultural communication happen in an intimate relationship of a marriage. The study uses qualitative methodology with interpretive paradigm. The result of the study shows intercultural marriages comes with just as many conflicts as in a monoculture marriage, but requires extra patience due to the different basic perspectives in approaching conflicts, and takes more time to adapt for the culture to assimilate to each other's.

“…These challenges may contribute to higher divorce rates among interfaith couples, underscoring the need for a deeper understanding of how they navigate conflicts compared to couples with shared faiths. In the context of interfaith couples, while religious identity does not serve as a barrier to marriage, the negotiation of identity becomes imperative to garner acceptance within their social spheres (Dewatara et al, 2021). It is also important to recognize that a strong religious identity, influenced by upbringing and culture, may lead to hesitation in marrying outside one's faith.…”

Lived experiences of couples in an interfaith marriage has not been widely studied as much as it is practiced in multi-racial countries like Malaysia. Considering the sensitivity of the subject matter, little has been known about this phenomenon unlike in the West where it has been openly documented. Using the Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) through an in-depth interview with 6 couples, this qualitative study aimed to generate a new understanding and insights into the lived experiences of couples with different religious beliefs, especially in the Malaysian context. The study also examined the challenges faced by interfaith couples, impact of their religious differences, as well as mechanisms by which they adjust to religious differences. Findings as shown in the thematic analysis suggest that perceived fear of rejection, actual initial rejection, and marriage preparation were the challenges faced by interfaith couples. Faith education and religious obligations were found to be the area of conflict among interfaith couples, and that interfaith couples adjust to each other's religious differences through the relational attributes and assimilation and accommodation strategies. Implications to marriage counseling and possible interventions to conflicts arising from an interfaith marriage are further discussed in this paper.
