Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of post-marital counseling as a pastoral strategy in addressing marital conflicts during the first five years of marriage among congregants of the Bethel Church of Indonesia (Gereja Bethel Indonesia) Musi Palem Indah, Palembang. The first five years of marriage represent a critical period prone to various issues, such as personality differences, poor communication patterns, financial problems, spiritual crises, and the influence of secular culture. Although the church has implemented a premarital counseling program, data indicate instances of divorce among young married couples due to a lack of continuous guidance. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method using observation, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires distributed to 25 couples who were married between 2020 and 2025. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, validated through source triangulation. The findings reveal that the majority of respondents (70–80%) acknowledged that post-marital counseling plays a significant role in resolving household conflicts, fostering healthy communication, and strengthening family spirituality. The key finding of this study is the effectiveness of the MUSI-based pastoral counseling model (Problem, Effort, Goal, Intervention), which is systematic, contextual, and spiritually integrative according to the needs of the local congregation. The study recommends that the church develop post-marital counseling programs as an integral part of pastoral family ministry in a preventive, structured, and continuous manner to strengthen Christian family resilience from the early stages of marriage.

Abstract

This study aims to interpret the theological meaning of the practice of sharing in Acts 2:44–47 in relation to the internal economic life of the congregation. The study is motivated by a prevailing understanding of diakonia that tends to position charitable service as an additional activity of the church, without sufficiently relating it to the dynamics of communal fellowship and shared life within the faith community. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, this study conducts a biblical-historical analysis of Acts 2:44–47. The findings indicate that the practice of sharing in the early Christian community represents a form of economic solidarity rooted in communal fellowship and integrated into the congregation’s relational life, rather than merely an incidental act of charity. This economic solidarity possesses theological and contextual limitations and therefore cannot be applied literally to contemporary church contexts without critical reflection. This study contributes to the development of practical theological reflection by positioning the relationship between faith, fellowship, and the economic life of the congregation as an integral component of the understanding of diakonia.
