Abstract

A marriage bond needs to be built and formed from the readiness of each individual to build a family. In Indonesia, there is a phenomenon of postponement of marriage. Many young people aged 16-30 years have decided to postpone marriage which is supported by a decrease in the marriage rate in the last 10 years. In addition to the decrease in the marriage rate, it is also marked by an increase in the divorce rate in the 2021-2022 period. Based on this phenomenon, indicates a lack of community readiness in building a marriage bond. Marriage readiness is important to have to form a family that is good physically, socially emotionally, sexually, morally and committed. Psychoeducation related to marriage preparation is one way to form marriage readiness. The purpose of implementing this PKM activity is to change negative perceptions about marriage and provide an understanding of marriage preparation for unmarried young adults. The results of the pretest and posttest given obtained a higher mean posttest value compared to the pretest. Based on the evaluation of the activities given to the participants, psychoeducation was able to provide a better perception of marriage and increase early adult understanding of preparation for building a marriage. This indicates that psychoeducation can provide new understanding information for early adult individuals' marriage readiness. Suatu ikatan pernikahan perlu dibangun dan dibentuk dari adanya kesiapan masing-masing individu dalam membangun sebuah keluarga. Di Indonesia terdapat fenomena penundaan pernikahan.

Review

This paper addresses the increasingly pertinent issue of marriage readiness among young adults in Indonesia, where phenomena like marriage postponement and rising divorce rates signal a potential deficit in societal preparedness for marital life. The authors effectively articulate the multidimensional nature of marriage readiness, encompassing physical, socio-emotional, sexual, moral, and commitment aspects, and underscore its importance for fostering stable and healthy family foundations. By identifying psychoeducation as a crucial intervention, the study establishes a clear and relevant framework for exploring practical solutions to a pressing public health and social concern. The study's strength lies in its application of psychoeducation to cultivate this vital readiness. The intervention, framed as a Community Service (PkM) activity, aimed to shift negative perceptions about marriage and enhance understanding of marital preparation among unmarried early adults. The abstract reports encouraging immediate results, indicated by higher mean posttest scores compared to pretest values, and positive feedback from participants regarding improved perceptions and increased understanding. These findings suggest that structured psychoeducational initiatives hold promise in equipping young adults with the foundational knowledge and attitudes necessary for successfully navigating married life. Despite its promising initial outcomes, the abstract's brevity limits a comprehensive evaluation of the study's methodological rigor and scope. Critical details such as the specific content, duration, and pedagogical approach of the "Bersiga" psychoeducation program are not elaborated, nor are participant demographics (e.g., sample size, recruitment method) provided. Moreover, while a higher mean posttest value is noted, the absence of statistical significance or effect sizes makes it challenging to ascertain the robustness and practical significance of the observed changes. Future publications would greatly benefit from a more detailed account of the intervention design, methodology, and a more rigorous statistical analysis, potentially including a control group or long-term follow-up to provide stronger evidence of the psychoeducation's sustained impact on actual marriage readiness and outcomes.
