Problems will always exist, and may lead to divorce. Divorce that occurs in the midst of the people except for adultery is the negligence of the Church which pays little attention to its people. In completing this paper, the author uses qualitative research methods and literature studies, where the conclusion is Pastoral Counseling is a bridge in solving problems that exist in the midst of the family supported by prayer and hope for the common good.
