School Book

This book is the text for a required class titled "Marriage and Family: A Christian Perspective" for my Bachelor's in Business Administration program at Faulkner University. It contains information I wish I knew 10 years earlier about communication in relationships and other topics. This book looks stupid but is actually very informative. Don't judge this book by the cover.
