Abstract

Building a household within Javanese culture has its own standard rooted in philosophical ancestors, not only about the quantity but also the quality. Javanese culture that is closely related to the goodness has some teachings that are mostly used as the role model of life. Among those many Javanese teachings, Wasilah Catur Wedha becomes one of the standardizations in fostering a household and has to be delivered at midodareni night. These four Wasilah are implanted to the prospective bridegroom who will propose a wife. It is taught to men who are considered as heads of families who were formed by their wives as the leaders, to maintain the household's sustainability harmony and be able to get a better quality. These four teachings are covering: (1) The behavior of each individual of both husband and wife to put themselves as women and men who have married; (2) Treating the parents-in-law as their own parents; (3) Obeying the Angger Angering Praja (government) in order to be loved among the society; and (4) Following the rules and staying away from the prohibitions of the religion believed to find the inner peace within the family life.
