<p>This study investigates the intricate relationship between self-acceptance, couple trust, and marital happiness among individuals within the Rote Tribe community. Drawing upon psychological theories of well-being and relational dynamics, this research posits that self-acceptance positively influences marital happiness, and that this relationship is mediated by the level of trust between spouses. Utilizing a quantitative, correlational design, data were collected from a representative sample of married individuals in the Rote Tribe. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between self-acceptance and marital happiness, and crucially, confirm that couple trust plays a significant intermediary role in this association. Higher self-acceptance is linked to greater trust within the marital relationship, which, in turn, contributes to enhanced marital happiness. These results underscore the profound importance of both intra-personal (self-acceptance) and inter-personal (trust) factors in fostering marital well-being, particularly within specific cultural contexts such as the Rote Tribe, where traditional practices like belis may influence marital dynamics. The study offers valuable implications for pre-marital counseling, marital therapy, and community-based interventions aimed at promoting healthier and happier marital relationships.</p>
