The role of religious instructors has a strategic position to equip couples in building a household that is sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah. In its implementation, instructors have an important role as inspirators, motivators, catalysts, stabilizers, facilitators, and government employees. This study aims to determine the role of Islamic religious instructors in marriage guidance for prospective brides and grooms at the Jekan Raya Religious Affairs Office, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in carrying out this role. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that religious instructors have carried out their roles in accordance with their duties and functions, namely providing guidance that includes religious, psychological, and social aspects. However, there are several inhibiting factors such as time constraints and lack of understanding of participants, as well as supporting factors such as the instructor's scientific background and communication skills, and empathy. The conclusion of this study is that the role of Islamic religious instructors is very important in the success of the marriage guidance program, but the effectiveness of its implementation is greatly influenced by supporting and inhibiting factors in the field.

The prevalence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in the Riau Islands is a concerning public health issue, with 18.7% of non-pregnant women reported to be affected. In Batam City specifically, 95 cases of undernutrition were recorded in 2024. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between food intake and the nutritional status of women of reproductive age experiencing CED. A descriptive correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The study used total sampling, involving 31 women from the Batu Aji KUA in Batam. Data on food intake were collected and compared to recommended dietary standards. The findings indicated that a majority of women had food intake levels below the recommended daily allowance. Despite this, not all of the participants were found to be suffering from CED. Statistical analysis using the Chi-square test revealed a significant association between food intake and nutritional status (p = 0.025, where α = 0.05), suggesting that food intake plays an influential role in determining nutritional outcomes. Furthermore, women whose food intake was lower than the recommended levels were found to have a 0.611 times greater risk of experiencing chronic energy deficiency. These findings emphasize the crucial role of adequate energy and nutrient intake, especially among women of reproductive age, in preventing CED and improving overall health. Improving food consumption patterns in this demographic is essential not only for individual well-being but also as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of stunting in future generations. The study underscores the need for targeted educational interventions to increase awareness about proper nutrition and energy intake among women, particularly those in reproductive age, as a strategy to address undernutrition and its broader public health consequences.

The premarital period can be linked to the preconception period, because after marriage a woman will immediately undergo the conception process. The preconception period is the period before pregnancy. The preconception period is the period of time from three months to one year before conception and ideally should include the time when the ovum and sperm are mature, which is around 100 days before conception. The nutritional status of WUS or premarital women for three to six months during the preconception period will determine the condition of the baby born. The prerequisites for perfect nutrition during the preconception period are the key to the birth of a normal and healthy baby. Marriage is one of the steps that must be taken to build a harmonious family. To take this step, all preparations are needed to form a harmonious family. The goal after carrying out the activity is to hope that catin will be exposed to health material regarding pre-wedding preparation and pre-marital screening. KIE community service activities for catin preparation and premarital screening have been carried out in the form of counseling, providing information and education regarding catin preparation and premarital screening. With a commitment to providing KIE catin and program sustainability will be carried out by KUA Medan Johor. It is hoped that this activity will not end in service activities, but with the media leaflet it can be used as a policy for the relevant agencies to develop it in the form of an application as a course method for catin in the health sector so that KUAs in other areas can utilize the application in implementing courses for catin, especially in the field of health.
