Christian Ethical Values and Marital Problems in Gboko

This study, "Christian Ethical Values and Marital Problems in Gboko," examines how Christian ethics address diverse marital challenges among Christians. Using a qualitative approach, the work integrates theological texts, ethical theories, and Christian counseling case studies. The research reveals that Christians encounter marital difficulties at rates similar to or higher than non-Christians, including communication breakdowns, financial stress, infidelity, and conflicts over gender roles. It also established that Christian ethics, grounded in biblical principles and frameworks like virtue and narrative ethics, offer robust tools for addressing these issues. The study concludes that emphasising virtues such as love, forgiveness, humility, and mutual submission promotes empathy, understanding, and reconciliation in marriages. The study underscores the essence of developing educational programmes on biblical teachings, integrating mental health support into Christian counseling, promoting virtue ethics, employing narrative therapy, and establishing comprehensive faith-based counseling frameworks.
