Vaginismus is a sexual disorder in which penetration becomes challenging to perform. Married
couples with vaginismus are expected to maintain closeness in establishing romantic relationships.
Married couples who are unable to do dyadic coping to overcome vaginismus problems are very
vulnerable to triggering conflicts that lead to divorce. The purpose of this study is to provide an
overview of dyadic coping in married couples with vaginismus. This study uses a qualitative method
with a case study approach. The number of research participants was three couples and three
informants who were relatives of the participants. Data were collected using semi-structured
interviews and questionnaires (Dyadic et al. and DASS-stress subscale) filled out before the interview
process took place as an initial psychological picture of the participants. The DCI by Bodenmann
consists of 37 items, with 35 items arranged based on aspects and forms of dyadic coping in the form
of stressful, supportive, delegated, negative, and ordinary communication, and two items in the form
of evaluation statements. DASS by Lovibond and Lovibond, which consists of 42 items. The data was
analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, with data condensation, presentation, and
conclusion. The findings of the dyadic coping process are in the form of the theme of an open stress
communication pattern by showing sadness, positive perceptions, and positive emotions in
response to stress communication that occurs in carrying out emotion regulation strategies; positive
dyadic coping responses in the form of providing support and solving problems faced both in
supportive and common dyadic coping; triggering factors; and the positive benefits of dyadic
coping. The research can be used as a reference for dyadic coping in married couples with
vaginismus so that couples always raise awareness to strengthen each other to establish a romantic
relationship as a married couple
