| "Counselors
unanimously find that marriage and family problems outnumber all other
counseling problems problems combined," writes Jay Adams.
" For that reason alone, counselors should want to learn all they
can about marriage counseling."
This is a book to help counselors understand and
deal with the typical problems that arise in a marriage. The
approach is to offer not merely solutions, but biblical
solutions. Chapter by chapter, each problem that is brought into
focus is addressed by Scripture, and a solution arising from Scripture
is developed.
Unless one understands what a biblical marriage is
supposed to be, it is difficult to solve marriage problems. For
that reason, Dr. Adams spends the first few chapters developing a
biblical model. Then he treats many of the specific kinds of
problems that typically arise: life patterns, priorities, children,
sex roles, in-laws, etc.
This is a book that belongs on every pastor's and
every counselor's shelf.
