Reproductive health of prospective brides and grooms is an important aspect in improving the quality of family health in the future. Low levels of knowledge and attitudes related to reproductive health among prospective couples may lead to various health problems; therefore, an intervention through premarital counseling is necessary. This study employed a quantitative design with a pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 50 prospective brides and grooms who participated in premarital counseling at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in Blangpidie District. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test to determine relationships between variables, logistic regression analysis to identify dominant factors, and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to assess differences before and after the intervention. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between age and reproductive health knowledge and attitudes among prospective couples. In contrast, education level, occupation, and availability of information were significantly associated with reproductive health knowledge and attitudes. Multivariate analysis indicated that education and information systems were dominant factors associated with knowledge, while information systems and occupation were dominant factors influencing attitudes. The Wilcoxon test results showed a significant difference in knowledge and attitudes before and after premarital counseling, where all respondents experienced improvement after the intervention. Premarital counseling is effective in improving reproductive health knowledge and attitudes among prospective brides and grooms; therefore, it needs to be optimized as an effort to enhance the quality of community reproductive health.
