Overview
In any endeavor, dreams and goals not backed by concrete plans and preparations can result in failure. And marriage is no exception, claims H. Norman Wright. In fact, without solid planning and forethought by engaged couples, we will surely see a continuation of the startling divorce rate among Christians and non-Christians alike. That’s where the church comes in.
More and more churches are realizing that their responsibility lies not only in pronouncing men and women “husband and wife,” but also in making sure the proper foundation is laid so that marriages have a better chance of standing strong under pressure. Since its introduction in 1977 as Premarital Counseling, this book has been used by literally thousands of churches throughout the country as both a guide and reference tool. Now Dr. Wright has added new material to cover some perplexing issues that have come into prominence only recently. Among those special concerns are:
- Interracial marriages
- Second marriages
- Marriages of persons from dysfunctional families
Writing for both pastors and premarital counselors, H. Norman Wright sets you at ease about the counseling process, even if you’ve had only limited counseling experience.
