This research is empirical legal research using primary data sources. The data is filtered using data triangulation techniques. Then analyzed using Al-Buthi's maslahah theory and Talcott  Parsons' structural-functional theory. The results of this study indicate that overseas female worker profession (TKW) in the Kendal Regency community carry out long-distance marriage management with various things so that they can strengthen their families in several steps, namely; there is communication, trust, and commitment, and there is a meeting schedule. According to the structural-functional theory, it has fulfilled the elements of adaptation, goal attainment, integration, and latency. Meanwhile, according to maslahah theory, it does not conflict with maslahah if it is considered an emergency in the field of work and the main goal is hifz an-nasl, but it can conflict if it is only for the sake of material pleasure in terms of collecting wealth.
