According to data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the marriage rate in Indonesia has been steadily declining over the past ten years. This decline is largely due to many young people, including women, choosing to postpone marriage in order to prioritize other aspects of life, such as education and career. On the other hand, some young individuals still decide to get married. This study aims to explore the dynamics of decision-making regarding marriage among career women. This research adopts a case study approach, with data collected through interviews and observations. The data were analyzed using Thematic Analysis. The participants in this study were four career women aged 28–37 years who live and work in the formal sector in Gresik Regency, East Java. The findings indicate that an evaluation of options is not always present in the decision-making process related to marriage among career women. There are no distinguishing factors in the decision to marry between those who are married and those who are not. However, differences in internal factors were found between the under-30 and over-30 age groups. The desire to marry among career women may decrease or remain, depending on their current situations and conditions. The dynamics of decision-making regarding marriage among career women include their meaning of marriage, the decision-making process itself, the consequences experienced after making the decision, and the experience of declining desire to marry.
