<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the implementation of Sakinah family dimensions among early married couples in Kapanewon Samigaluh, Kulon Progo. A qualitative case study approach was employed to explore participants’ experiences and practices in developing harmonious family relationships. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, with source triangulation involving family members to strengthen the credibility of the findings. The participants were early married couples who were selected based on the characteristics relevant to the research focus. The findings indicate that the implementation of Sakinah family values is reflected in five main dimensions: religious life, education, family economic stability, family health, and harmonious social relationships. The participants demonstrated religious practices through worship, gratitude, prayer, and efforts to strengthen religious understanding within the family. Educational practices were reflected in efforts to improve knowledge and fulfill family responsibilities, while economic stability was supported through shared responsibility and appropriate financial management. Family health was maintained through preventive and appropriate healthcare practices. Meanwhile, harmonious social relationships were strengthened through communication, mutual respect, affection, consultation, and understanding of each partner’s rights and responsibilities. Overall, the participants demonstrated characteristics of Sakinah I and Sakinah II families, although they had not yet reached the Sakinah III level. The findings highlight the importance of culturally and religiously responsive Guidance and Counseling in supporting young couples in developing resilient and harmonious families.
