ABSTRACT

The paper discussed the Christian education curriculum as a tool for effective pastoral counseling for intending couples. The work exposed the need for a curriculum that is Christ-centered, Bible-based, and life applied for effective premarital counseling in the present-day society, as there is an increasing rate of divorce, separation, verbal abuse, and domestic violence among couples, which has its source in a lack of proper education and counseling prior to the period of marriage. From a pastoral care perspective, the author discussed the overview of Christian education Curriculum, concepts of Christian education and pastoral counseling, the necessity for Pastoral counseling to intending Couples, causes of ineffective Pastoral counseling, and prescribed a curriculum for effective Pastoral counseling for the Intending Couples. The paper used the Solution-focused theory as the theoretical framework and concludes that if intending couples are exposed to premarital counseling, couples will have an exciting marriage and drastically reduced divorce.
