One of them is the marriage sequence. In this research, there aretwo marriage sequences used which are typical and atypical marriagesequences. These sequences are determined by childbearing timing; beforeor after marriage. Considering the culture in Indonesia, which sees premaritalpregnancy as immoral, atypical sequenced couples are expected to have amore intense level of conflicts compared to typical sequenced couples due tothe pressure to marry. Therefore, this study aims to find out howcommunication problems are differently experienced by these twosequences. 6 couples (3 from each sequence) and a marriage counselorwere interviewed semi structurally to gain insights. This study uses qualitativeresearch methods to obtain data from interviews. The findings demonstratehow both sequences face the same difficulties in communicating but atypicalsequences seemed to have more difficulties in conflict resolution.
