The divorce rate in Indonesia shows a significant increase every year, caused by various factors such as economic factors, disharmony, domestic violence, and the influence of social media. This condition indicates a gap between the ideals of Islamic teachings on the family and the prevailing social reality. In response, the Marriage Guidance for Prospective Brides and Grooms (Bimwin) program, initiated by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, is designed to strengthen family resilience. However, its implementation remains largely formal and does not optimally address the needs of the digital generation. This study aims to reconstruct a hybrid learning-based marriage guidance model from the perspective of Jasser Auda's maqashid sharia, in order to make it a preventive instrument in reducing the divorce rate. The study employed a library research method with a content analysis approach to relevant literature on the maqashid sharia, learning theory, and Bimwin policies. The study results show that through the six systemic principles of Auda cognition, openness, multidimensionality, interrelatedness, purposefulness, and wholeness, marriage guidance can be developed into an adaptive, contextual, and welfare-oriented program. This approach integrates the main values ​​of maqashid sharia such as hifz al-din, hifz al-nafs, hifz al-‘aql, hifz al-nasl, and hifz al-mal in both online and face-to-face learning curricula. Thus, hybrid learning-based marriage guidance serves not only as an administrative obligation before marriage, but also as an educational and transformative tool for forming a sakinah, mawaddah, warahmah family that is resilient to the dynamics of modern life.
