In the past seventy years, the divorce rate, even among Christians, has reached an extreme high and the desire to have children and build a family is very low. We, as Christians, have to do something! The first goal of the various products and courses that I offer is to encourage unmarried young adults and youth to think about preparing for partnership, marriage and parenting. The preparation for partnership and building a strong family foundation is becoming increasingly important in Western societies. Therefore, a second goal is to give those, who will work within the course material, a good foundation of scientific insights and Biblical wisdom. Finally, a more prevalent goal is to expose you to, not only, the intellectual aspects of choosing a partner, but more importantly, the rich foundations of God's great idea of living as a couple and building a strong, Godly family in this day and age. I hope and pray that, as time goes on, many others will take a foundational course similar to the one offered here. These Preparing for Partnership Manuals have been specially designed as a basis for discussing relational controversies within a safe context. This Family Life Manual discusses the important topic of choosing a partner and having a stable family foundation. Overall, this content is designed very broadly and informally so that you, no matter your positioning in life, can feel comfortable to discuss your own ideas with others and then compare them with the contents of the course. There is a Facilitator's Manual that can be purchased to enable church leaders, pastors and teachers to facilitate group sessions that follow the content of this manual.
