Abstract

Communication is a social event, namely events that occur when an individual interacts with other individuals. Interpersonal communication in the family is very important because with the interpersonal communication between fellow family members it will create a harmonious relationship and it can be known what is desired and what is not desired by one of the family members. Decision making is the beginning of conscious and directed human activity, either individually, in groups or institutionally, so that decision making becomes an important aspect in a management or management. The research method used is a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. The subjects studied were 3 families of parents and children who married in their teens and the data collection techniques used were interviews and observation. The results showed that the communication pattern consisted of an equation communication pattern, a separate balanced communication pattern, a separate unbalanced communication pattern, a monopoly communication pattern and in decision making consisting of the problem finding stage, the search stage or evaluation stage, the stage of choosing alternatives and making decisions, and result evaluation stage. Every family has a variety of communication patterns and forms of decision making between parents and children who marry in their teens. There are some subjects who feel always cornered in the family as a result of poor communication from parents and decision making that is always controlled so that children do not feel safe in the family.
