Marriage and Family Counselling: A Holistic Integration of Theology, Psychology, and Pastoral Care is an interdisciplinary resource that integrates biblical theology, psychology, family therapy, and pastoral counselling to address the realities of marriage and family life in today's world. The book responds to the questions, struggles, and aspirations of young adults navigating relationships, marriage, sexuality, family responsibilities, and Christian discipleship.

Recognising that many people prepare for a wedding but not for marriage itself, the book explores the emotional, psychological, relational, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of family life. Integrating theological reflection with psychological insights and practical counselling approaches, it provides a holistic framework for nurturing healthy marriages, resilient families, and compassionate pastoral care.
