This research was presented to answer a valid question about premarital guidance program chapters via social media, how they were applied and whether they demonstrated good effectiveness. By employing qualitative study, the research found that the premarital guidance program through the social network provide sufficient and innovative materials for their followers and conducting in an appropriate manner and advanced way. As for the effectiveness of the pre-marriage guidance program classes through social media platforms, the result showed that they have good effectiveness, either in terms of the participants’ assimilation of the materials, or in terms of organizing the programs, both in terms of the method of delivering and developing affection and the experience of the mentors. However, there is still a weakness in terms of the lack of dialogue between the counsellors and the participants, the lack of discussion of experiences and facts about family life, and case studies.
