This groundbreaking collection explores diverse issues related to marriage and the family. Topics explored include preserving the honor of marriage, the sanctity of the marriage bed, the training and nurturing of children, the role of family members, teachings on divorce, issues of remarriage, and family prayer. The authors present practical guidance and seek to confirm and uphold scriptural values while applying them to contemporary life.

In this book, Foerster firmly maintains that sex cannot be considered apart from life as a whole and without reference to our fundamental convictions. He makes the point that sex is one of the essential facts of life and cannot be dealt with as a thing standing by itself and lays the foundation to discuss special problems of marriage and sexual education.
