Abstract: : This study explored the differences between commuter marriage relationships in terms of love and commitment. A total of 110 respondents were involved, who are married individuals and who have a long-distance marriage with a partner. This study involved secondary and primary school teachers in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. The study design is quantitative using a set of standard questionnaires to test the study variables. The Triangular Love Scale was used to measure love and the Investment Model Scale (IMS) was used to measure commitment variables. Pearson Correlation Analysis was used to analyse the relationship between love and commitment among commuter marriages. In contrast, the t-Test for Independent Samples was used to look at differences in love and commitment in terms of gender and the first marital status of respondents. Based on Pearson Correlation analysis, it was found that there is a significant relationship between love and commitment among commuter marriages (k = .335 **, p> .001). While the t-test for Independent Sample analysis between loves by gender found no significant differences, in contrast, commitment there was a significant mean difference between males and females. The results of this study found that there was no significant difference between love and commitment according to the respondents' first marital status. The implications of this study emphasized the importance of husbands committing to marriage to protect their marriage. The spouses are responsible for maintaining the marriage despite being far away from each other.
