Book Description

Excerpt from When You Marry The authors of this book, who had already served as two of the memo bers of the committee that prepared the outline of the course, were asked to prepare a workbook to be used in conjunction with a textbook as the basis of a prospective course in the United States Armed Forces Institute. Although a course in Marriage and the Family has not yet been included in the program of the Institute, the authors were encour aged, by indications of widespread interest in a course with the same objectives for all young people preparing for marriage, to write the pres ent volume. The authors of When You Marry are unusually well qualified by their training and experience to prepare a volume meeting the present pressing needs and concerns of young people.
