Christian marriage and values are pegged on the radical teaching of Jesus Christ in marriage. His comments on marriage in the New Testament, which are primarily tangential in nature which include pictures, analogies, and fragments, also show this radicalism. The purpose of the study to was evaluate the Church Doctrines and Their Implication to the stability of Christian marriage among the SDA Church members in Keroka Station, Kenya. The study was conducted at Keroka Station of Nyamira West Field of Seventh Day Adventist Church. The target population is 17,997 members of SDA Church in Keroka station. The study employed purposive and random sampling. The sample size was 17 church elders, 364 Senior church members and youths and 4 pastors totaling 385 respondents which was spread out equally in the four Districts. The data collection tools used were questionnaires and interview schedule of group focus. Data was analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS version 23) to describe the findings of the study. The findings were reported through tables, charts and verbatim. The study found that the SDA church teachings centered on monogamy, faithfulness, mutual respect, forgiveness, and spiritual unity are highly regarded by members of the church. Most respondents agreed that these teachings are biblically grounded and form the foundation for strong Christian marriages. The researcher recommends for future scholars to conduct studies to explore how Christian marriage values are perceived and practiced across different denominations to identify unique or shared challenges and strategies for marriage stability, an investigation on the attitudes and expectations of youth regarding Christian marriage to tailor church teachings to younger generations and examination of the impact of gender expectations within SDA marriage doctrines on marital satisfaction and stability.
