Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, people have to stay at home all days, including working from home and accompanying children^s learning. In this situation, phenomena of economic negative impacts, stress and frustration leading to physical and psychological domestic violence that have negatively impacted on family resilience. This paper aims to study how to construct family resilience. Data were acquired from the ^Pengantin Al-Qur^an: Kalung permata buat anak-anakku^, written by Quraish Shihab. The data were analyzed descriptively by using gender theory. The main finding is to reconstruct multi-functional family institution, which may be able to sustain family life in all conditions, without standardizing the roles of husbands and wife, but emphasizing on compromise and equality. Even though these last two words are emphasized by Shihab, they are always wrapped in differences in functions and responsibilities, so that there is a standardization of roles between husband and wife so that equality is unconceived. The implication of this research is that it doesn^t support the achievement of one of the targets of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), which is a commitment of the Indonesian government to reduce inequality.
Keywords: family resilience, covid-19, gender, patriarchy, and Quraish Shihab.
