This study examines the intersection of faith and family life, exploring how Christian couples in the 21st century navigate and manage multiple roles within the institution of marriage. Contemporary Christian marriages are influenced by shifting gender norms, economic pressures, technological advancement, and secular ideologies, all of which complicate the balance between spiritual commitment, family responsibilities, and professional obligations. The study seeks to understand how faith functions as both a guiding principle and a coping mechanism in role management among Christian couples. Using a mixed-methods design, data will be collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with married Christian men and women drawn from various denominations. Findings are expected to reveal that strong religious commitment enhances marital satisfaction, facilitates conflict resolution, and supports role negotiation, though challenges persist in reconciling traditional Christian teachings with modern social expectations. The study will provide insights into how Christian values, gender roles, and family systems interact to sustain or strain marriages in a rapidly evolving social context.
