Abstract

This Community Service activity aims to increase community understanding, especially
among premarital teenage and adult couples, about the importance of sexual reproductive
education and financial management for premarital couples at the Javanese Christian
Church Jatiluhur Congregation, Jakasampurna, Bekasi, West Java. The program focuses
on delivering accurate and comprehensive information regarding reproductive health,
biological and psychological changes, the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, as
well as the importance of maintaining healthy and responsible sexual behavior, along with
good family financial management, which is a crucial foundation for young couples
planning to get married. It is essential to discuss financial planning before marriage,
including aspects such as budgeting, debt management, shared financial goals, and
emergency fund preparation. With a deep understanding of financial management, couples
can build a financially stable home life. Themethods used in this activity include interactive
counseling, discussion, and question-and-answer sessions, to ensure that participants gain
applicable and relevant insights for their daily lives, both in terms of sexual reproductive
health and good and sustainable financial management. The program showed an increase
in participants' understanding of the importance of sexual reproductive education and the
ability to make informed decisions related to reproductive health and responsible financial
management sustainably. It is recommended to expand this kind of program to other
churches as an effort to support the success of marriage holistically. Community Service
