<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the shift in the meaning of marriage from a traditional obligation to personal freedom and its implications for family well-being in the modern era. This phenomenon arises as a result of social change, globalization, and increasing individual awareness in making life choices. This research employs a literature review approach by examining various relevant scientific sources published within the last decade. The findings indicate that marriages based on individual choice tend to produce a higher quality of life compared to conventional models driven by social pressure. This is reflected in three main indicators: psychological well-being, financial stability, and the quality of child-rearing. From a psychological perspective, couples who marry based on personal choice tend to have higher levels of life satisfaction and resilience. From a financial perspective, economic readiness prior to marriage contributes to reducing household conflicts. Meanwhile, in terms of parenting, conscious and voluntary marriages lead to healthier and more well-planned parenting patterns. Therefore, this study emphasizes that freedom of choice in marriage is not merely a form of individualism, but rather a crucial foundation for building family resilience and well-being amid modern social dynamics]]>
