Best friends for life

  • 1 Want to read

The state of marriage is alarming -- not only in society at large, but among Christians as well. Young people need a whole new strategy for finding lifetime mates. Drawing upon their pioneering work in the field of home schooling as well as their work with young people, Michael and Judy Phillips present bold, surprising, sometimes even controversial alternatives to dating as the means for choosing spouses. Best Friends for Life develops revolutionary ideas about parental involvement, about dating as it is usually understood, and about the pressures young people face to make lifetime decisions prematurely. Families who want to choose God's best will find here a strong prescription for wise, sensible, and lasting Christian marriages. - Back cover.
