This study aims to analyze marriage services for couples at KUA Gondokusuman and to examine the multicultural–approach and its application in marriage services for couples at KUA Gondokusuman. Theoretically, this research refers to the concept of marriage services developed by Murray Bowen, the multicultural counseling approach formulated by Derald Wing Sue, Patricia Arredondo, and Roderick J. McDavis, as well as the approach rooted in the concept of Sikolohiyang Pilipino introduced by Virgilio G. Enriquez, which emphasizes the importance of local values and cultural context in psychological practice. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects consist of one Head of KUA, two religious counselors, one administrative staff member, one marriage registrar (penghulu), and three couples. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews. Data validity was ensured through method triangulation and source triangulation. The data were analyzed thematically using an interactive analysis model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing with the assistance of NVivo software.The findings show that marriage services at KUA Gondokusuman are not limited to administrative processes but also consider family dynamics, cultural backgrounds, and the emotional readiness of couples. Each stage, from registration to post-marital guidance, is designed to encourage dialogue, reflection, and shared responsibility, enabling the services to function preventively, correctively, and in maintaining family harmony. The multicultural– approach is applied contextually through non-judgmental attitudes, respect for cultural differences, and the utilization of local and spiritual values. Counselors adapt communication in a humanistic and dialogical manner according to the couples’ backgrounds, making the marriage services psychologically and culturally relevant and effective in strengthening relationships and family resilience.158.3 Psikologi Konseling, Penyuluhan, Bimbingan Konseling2026-04-29UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS DAKWAH DAN KOMUNIKASIThesis
