Negative stigma becomes problematic for wives who have husbands who are non-congenitally blind, thus affecting the developmental process of their adjustment. These obstacles cause a low sense of adjustment, less ready to accept the husband's condition, so it is necessary to provide individual guidance and motivation to them in an effort to improve their adjustment. This research aims to find out how individual guidance is implemented to increase the wife's adjustment to her non-congenital blind husband.The results of the research show that the stages of implementing individual guidance are, first, providing motivation to clients who are experiencing problems in life, creating inspiration for familiarity with clients.
