Subject: After twenty years in classroom use, Creating a Successful Christian Marriage has been extensively revised for a new generation. The goals of the fourth edition are to equip young people to make an intelligent choice of a mate and to help them anticipate what to expect in family interaction or single life. Retained is the stress on the Bible as a source of growth in any marriage and family status. This text looks at the nuclear family as a social institution but also explores the practical side of living through adjustments of dating, engagement, and early marriage. Cleveland McDonald and his son Philip treat such practical matters as communicating, working through interpersonal differences, and growing in relationships within the family. - Back cover.
