The research aimed to identify the role of universities within the framework of community service in reducing the phenomenon of divorce. The descriptive approach was used to analyze the literature on the role of universities in community service and its relationship to reducing the phenomenon of divorce, to arrive at conclusions and draw conclusions. The results revealed that universities can significantly contribute to reducing divorce and enhancing family stability through five main axes: Establishing a center for family research and studies to conduct in-depth studies, develop a database, and publish the results; Providing marriage rehabilitation and preparation programs through curricula, workshops, and guidance for newlyweds; Providing specialized family counseling services through clinics, hotlines, and programs to prevent domestic violence; Implementing community interventions and effective partnerships through awareness programs and cooperation with religious institutions and the media; Proposing supportive family policies and providing assessments of the impact of government policies on families. The success of these initiatives requires institutional support, the allocation of sufficient resources, reliance on specialists, and periodic evaluation to ensure sustainability.
