This book touches on plenty of "practical" doctrinal topics: the single state, engagement, roles of husbands and wives, sex, children, family planning, divorce, remarriage, homosexuality, polygamy, common-law marriage, blended family issues, and much more. At a time when distorted views of marriage are commonplace, John Schuetze's book is a refreshing alternative. "Marriage and Family" presents Scripture's teaching on marriage as God intends it to be. This book can be especially valuable as a resource for pre-marriage classes and for marriage enrichment seminars.
