1. Bagi pasangan yang sudah menikah.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, individu yang telah menikah diharapkan tetap mempertahankan kemampuan-kemampuan dalam kecerdasan emosi, seperti mengenali emosi baik pada diri sendiri maupun pada pasangan, menggunakan emosi yang positif, terbuka dengan perasaan baik yang menyenangkan maupun yang tidak menyenangkan, serta mengatur emosi pada diri sendiri agar tercipta kepuasan dalam perkawinan. Memiliki perkawinan yang memuaskan akan menjadikan perkawinan yang harmonis dan awet.
2. Bagi peneliti selanjutnya
Peneliti selanjutnya dapat meneliti mengenai hubungan antara budaya dengan kepuasan perkawinan karena pada penelitian ini didapatkan data bahwa responden yang memiliki daerah yang sama dengan pasangannya menunjukkan kepuasan perkawinan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan responden yang memiliki pasangan berasal dari daerah berbeda. Hal ini bisa dikaitkan bagaimana budaya memengaruhi kepuasan perkawinan.
