Abstract

This study investigates the role of premarital education in fostering Sakinah (harmonious and spiritually grounded) families among students of the Family Law Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. The research aims to examine how premarital education increases student participation in educating themselves about marriage and its influence on marital harmony. Employing a field research method, the study involved direct engagement with students to obtain comprehensive and reliable data. The findings reveal that premarital education encourages students to apply Sakinah family principles, understand the rights and responsibilities of spouses, and embody Islamic values within their households. Despite their dual roles as students and spouses, participants demonstrated the ability to maintain family harmony, supported by strong intellectual awareness, religious commitment, and active involvement in premarital programs. Students also engaged in independent premarital guidance, preparing themselves mentally, spiritually, and emotionally for married life. The relevance of the content, interactive learning methods, and student motivation were significant factors contributing to the program’s success. Furthermore, the impact of premarital education on family harmony is evident in the students’ improved understanding of Islamic marital roles and their readiness to develop educational initiatives that promote family stability during their academic years. Support—material, emotional, and moral—emerged as a key element in the formation of Sakinah families.
