Abstract. This study aims to examine the relationship between communication quality and the quality of long-distance dating relationships (LDDR).

The research employs a quantitative approach using a survey questionnaire involving 388 respondents in Bandung. The results of Spearman's correlation analysis indicate a significant positive relationship between communication quality and relationship quality (r = 0.742). This study also emphasizes the importance of communication quality in maintaining long-distance relationships, providing theoretical and practical insights for couples in similar situations.
