Abstract

The phenomenon of grey divorce, which is divorce that occurs in elderly couples (50 years and above), is increasingly prominent in modern society, including in the Christian community. Divorce in the golden age is often not caused by major conflicts, but by the loss of emotional connection, relational boredom, and the search for a more personal meaning in life. This phenomenon has psychological, social, and spiritual impacts not only for the divorced couples, but also for adult children and the family structure as a whole. From a Christian faith perspective, the church can be present as an agent of recovery and not just as a guardian of norms. With a theological-pastoral approach, this study emphasizes the importance of the church providing a safe and loving space for elderly couples experiencing marital crisis. Through pastoral counseling services, supportive elderly communities, and teachings that emphasize the values ​​of loyalty and unconditional love, the church can play a significant role in restoring relationships, building new hope, and strengthening the meaning of marriage in the light of Christ's love.
