Abstract

This study explores the role of ethical behavior in preventing triangulation in marital relationships. Triangulation occurs when third parties become involved in a couple’s relationship, often leading to conflicts and tension. This can ultimately harm the foundation of the family unit. Drawing on ethical principles, the research identifies the causes of triangulation and offers solutions that help couples maintain privacy and prevent external interference.

The research adopts a descriptive and analytical approach to address the question: What are the unethical causes of triangulation in marital relationships, and how can ethical strategies prevent it? By strengthening ethical behavior, couples can establish clear boundaries, improve communication, and protect their relationship from unwanted outside influence.

The goal of this study is to provide couples with practical, ethically-based strategies to foster a positive and stable marital environment. The findings suggest that, by adhering to ethical principles, couples can effectively address external challenges, avoid triangulation, and maintain a healthy, enduring marriage.
