Marriage is a sacred contract between a man and a woman as husband and wife, which aims to build a Sakina family. Marrying into a Sakina family requires not only physical and psychological preparation, but also social, financial, emotional and responsible preparation. Therefore, limiting the age of marriage is an important principle. This is because the Marriage Law and Civil Code clearly regulate and define the age limit for marriage in such a way that all prospective husband and wife must be truly mature physically and mentally. However, underage marriage still occurs in Bantul Village, which has an impact on family welfare. Based on the explanation above, the author formulates the problem as follows: (1) What are the factors causing underage marriage in Bantul, Malang Regency?; (2) What is the impact of underage marriage on household welfare? By using a qualitative descriptive approach to describe some of the data obtained from the field through interviews, observation, or documentation as data collection methods. Furthermore, it proceeds to the process of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing by using data analysis techniques. In addition, the analysis process is also supported by literature review as a reference to refine the data obtained from practice. Such a process allows us to draw conclusions as answers to the two questions above. From the research findings, it can be concluded that the factors causing underage marriage in Bantul village are economic factors, education, parents, customs, and pregnancy outside marriage.

This research aims to examine the impact of financial performance on stock return investment decisions of private investors using financial ratio analysis on LQ45 companies. The analysis focuses on the influence of Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM) ratios on stock return.The analysis results indicate that ROA has a positive impact on stock return, as excellent ROA performance reflects management's ability to manage assets to achieve profitability, which can attract investor interest in buying company shares and lead to increased stock return. However, ROE and NPM do not have a positive impact on stock return. Investors tend to consider other financial factors, so even with high ROE and NPM, if other financial indicators show negative performance, company shares may still be perceived poorly by investors.The implications of this research highlight the importance for companies to focus on financial performance, especially ROA, in investment decision-making. Additionally, investors are advised to consider all financial aspects holistically when evaluating the investment potential of stocks.

Joyfulful Sunday is one of forms of the Church's responsibility in helping parents to guide their children in growing their Christian faith. Joyfulful Sunday teachers and parents play an important role to guide children to get involved in the Joyfulful Sunday activities. Since Joyfulful Sunday aims to develop children's faith so that they are ready to participate in the church and society actively. However, there are many parents who have not realized yet that the Joyfulful Sunday teachers are their partners in developing the children's faith. It is recognized by the low presence of the children who attend the Joyfulful Sunday at the Administrative Parish Church Banjardowo, Semarang. There are four objectives in this research: (1) to determine the importance of the Joyfulful Sunday, (2) to determine the role of the Joyfulful Sunday teachers and parents in the Joyfulful Sunday, and (3) to determine the ways that Joyfulful Sunday activities have beenbeen done. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method. The data collection was accomplished through observation and semi-structured interviews. The researcher uses the Miles and Huberman model, namely reducing data, presenting data, and concluding to analyze the data. The results of the research indicate that Joyfulful Sunday is  essential as a way to develop the children's faith. The mentoring process in managing the formation of the children's faith in the Joyfulful Sunday has not been total and integral yet. The word 'total' referensi to the Joyfulful Sunday is conducted by involving all the potential people of the church, both families and people in the Parish. It is integral when the assistance  is not a personal work , yet it is a collaboration between parents and the parish. Many parents haven't realized yet how essential Joyfulful Sunday is. The collaboration between the Joyfulful Sunday teachers and the parish priest has not been optimal yet. Consequently, there are minimal catecheses for children.

This article explores Christian philosophical views regarding the existence of God through an analysis of various main arguments that have been developed by Christian philosophers. Focusing on ontological, cosmological, teleological, and moral arguments, this article explores how each argument attempts to prove the existence of God through rational and empirical approaches. Ontological arguments, such as those proposed by Anselm of Canterbury, use conceptual reflection to conclude that God must exist. The cosmological argument, popularized by Thomas Aquinas, combines observations of the universe with the logic of causality to demonstrate the existence of a transcendent first cause. The teleological argument, with a major contribution from William Paley, suggests that the complexity and order in the universe indicates the existence of an intelligent designer. Apart from that, this article also highlights the importance of religious experience as subjective evidence of the existence of God. Through a combination of rational argument and spiritual experience, Christian philosophy offers a comprehensive and insightful view of God's existence, making it relevant in contemporary theological and philosophical discussions.

Philosophical study of social justice from Plato's thought Throughout the history of philosophy, the topic of justice has been a very important topic. Theoretical thinkers such as utilitarianism, intuitionism, eudaimonism, perfectionism, liberalism, communitarianism, and socialism have discussed this topic. The core of political research from the time of Plato to the present is justice. Questions of fairness cannot be determined by the standards used to determine whether something is fair. Different versions of answers regarding the meaning of justice are often considered unsatisfactory, so they cannot be separated from the debate which ultimately constructs the meaning of justice itself, even into a relative formulation. This problem ultimately encouraged many groups to take an alternative path by returning the meaning of justice to those who set the laws and regulations and to judges who will develop their own considerations. This article will discuss the concept of justice from the perspective of Pre-Christian philosophers, especially Plato. Philosophically, there are two ways of expressing justice: First, the view that justice means harmony between the implementation of rights and the implementation of obligations according to the "balance of law" clause, namely "the scope of rights and obligations". The view of legal experts basically holds that justice is harmony between legal certainty and legal comparability. There are even those who argue that law must be combined with justice for it to truly have legal meaning. This is related to the answer that law is part of human efforts to create ethical coexistence in the world. Only through a just legal system can society live peacefully towards happiness, because the essence of law is to create fair rules in society.

The study of dialogue in the context of pluralism of religions (multi-religious), which is also linked to the implementation of missions or preaching in religions, is not a new issue in the study of theology and the study of religions; considered by the author to be important to continue to study. The reason why dialogue linked to mission is being discussed at this time is firstly, dialogue that assumes acceptance between fellow religious believers displays the murky reality of harmonious relations between religious believers. Good dialogue to be developed by religious communities is dialogue of action and dialogue of life as a form of dialogue that is correlational and globally responsible. Second, Christian mission can be understood as an effort to lift humanity from its downturned reality.
