To achieve this, the study focused on the values and practices for stable Christian marriages, the benefits of the church programs and activities that promote couple commitment to marriage vows. The study also explored the Christian interventions in the prevention of marital instabilities and the response made to address marital conflicts from couples who had celebrated 25 years in Christian marriage, the study also covered the period of 2020-2023, among the Roman Catholic in Kabale municipality Kabale District. The study was qualitative with phenomenological approach. The study aimed at gaining a thorough understanding of participants' viewpoints and experiences through in-depth interviews and Focused Group Discussions. Data was collected using an in depth interview guide with twenty (20) primary participants and (4) focus group discussions. The study used a range of techniques to gather data, including Focused Group Discussions, in-depth interviews, and key informants, which produced rich, comprehensive data. Study findings showed that Christian values are essential for fostering enduring marriages and have an impact on connections outside the marriage, such as in the community. Church initiatives, such as youth programs and counseling, uphold these values and promote the stability of marriages. Despite difficulties, little conflicts in Christian marriages are typically settled by mutual consent, and the church offers resources like premarital counseling to assist guarantee marital stability. The report recommends boosting male involvement in Catholic marriage programs, improving conflict resolution, and addressing issues like limited funds and a lack of trained counselors, while incorporating traditional African marital customs.
