 5.1 INTRODUCTION TO CHAPTER 5.0 Conclusion and Recommendation

5.1 Conclusion

The findings of this study lead to a conclusion. Firstly, the study shows the reasons of having special partner or ‘couple’ among university students. From the finding, the main reason why university students choose ‘couple’ is they want to reduce stress by having someone to share the problem, to have someone who can support and inspire them and to obtain experience in finding the right one. Secondly, the effects of ‘couple’ are based on financial problem that almost all of them spend RM50 until RM100 to treat their special partner. The amount of money spent can be assumed that they are actually wasting their money. While from the social aspect, those who are ‘couple’ they still can maintain their relationship with their other friends rather than hanging up with their partner only. However, for the academic aspect those who are involved in ‘couple’ relationship also can get higher pointer in their CGPA and it seems like they can still manage their time on study. Lastly, the study whether ‘couple’ can lead them to the marriage life or not showed that more than 50% of the respondents agreed that ‘couple’ relationship cannot lead to marriage life as they are actually not really serious or sure about their relationship now. 5.2 Recommendation

Based on the study made, it is shown that students who are involved in ‘couple’ relationship are exactly having some effects from their relationship such as financial, time management and stress. Even though the effects are not so obvious, but it can be seen from the students’ lifestyles. Moreover, more than 50% students who are involved in ‘couple’ relationship are not even sure about their future marriage with the current partner. Compared to those who are not involved in ‘couple’ relationship, they are more well managed and have the healthy and much happy lifestyle by having the good time management and nothing much to stress on besides on study. The reasons why students chose to have ‘couple’ are not the good reasons as there are so many ‘Couple’ is not something that may assure the marriage life in future but it is a relationship that may help in giving many experience and knowledge for each partner before they make a decision for choosing a right husband or wife in future. This situation may be true as Manolson (2004) states that “Those who are involved in ‘couple’ relationship may certainly learn from dating, but not necessarily how to succeed in marriage.” Page 22 line 16. By following a break up with partner may teach an individual to grow maturely, may learn what are the reason that they keep attracting the wrong people or why the opposite sex cannot be trusted easily. People may learn how to achieve love or else it will be only in dream Here are some recommendations that can be done by students who are involved in ‘couple’. They can have ‘couple’ but in Islam, it is not good to sit or being together with someone that is still not your ‘muhrim’ or having illegal relationship. Therefore, students should avoid ‘’couple’’ activities as we all know that it is not a way of Islam. . Manolson (2004) states that in short, dating may teach people how to date but it will not teach people how to be married and the illusion that it does can be harmful. Marriage should be approached with an open mind and as few preconception as possible. It is a new experience.
