The committed marriage

About this book

"Shedding a new light on perennial questions, Mrs. Achtemeier examines the contemporary state of marriage and family life from a Biblical point of view. With candor, clarity, and passion, the author provides insight into many sources of conflict within a marriage--from discipline of children to women's liberation. Viewing Christian marriage as a form of discipleship, she finds in it the key to freedom, order, and fulfillment. The Committed Marriage clarifies what a Christian marriage is and shows how both partners can handle the inevitable conflicts that threaten to shatter their relationship. It deals with Biblical teaching concerning fidelity, divorce, and the role of women." -- back cover
