Abstract

Premarital guidance is part of the religion and culture in every region of Indonesia. Premarital guidance can be understood as an effort to equip couples or guidance participants about everything related to family life so that they can form a happy and prosperous household. This research aims to collect data on the development of premarital guidance services between 2018-2022 in Indonesian culture using a systematic literature review approach. 38 articles obtained from Garuda were examined. The results show that there are various forms of premarital guidance service programs practiced in each region such as individual guidance, group guidance, virtual guidance in the form of modules. The most effective form of premarital guidance service is group guidance. In addition, the premarital guidance methods used are role play, games, simulations, question and answer sessions, discussions, assignments, sociodrama, psychodrama. The most common and widely used method is the classic method of lecture. In general, premarital guidance services have been effective, although not maximized and not simultaneously implemented in every region of Indonesia. It is the duty and responsibility of the government and religious leaders to update the premarital guidance service program more effectively.
