This research aims to examine the relationship between self-acceptance and happiness in married couples in the Rote tribe, as well as the role of trust as a mediator in this relationship. The method used is a quantitative approach. The measuring instruments used include a self-acceptance scale, a happiness scale, and a confidence scale, the validity and reliability of which have been tested. The research sample consisted of 116 married couples selected using techniques quota sampling. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant positive relationship between self-acceptance and happiness (p < 0.01), which means that the higher the partner's level of self-acceptance, the higher the level of happiness felt. Additionally, mediation analysis revealed that trust served as a significant mediator in the relationship between self-acceptance and happiness (p < 0.05). The implications of this research indicate that self-acceptance is a key factor influencing the happiness of marital partners, and trust serves to strengthen the relationship. These findings provide important insights for psychological interventions aimed at increasing happiness in marriage through developing self-acceptance and trust between partners. It is hoped that this research can become a reference for further research and provide insight for practitioners in the field of family psychology.
