Great addition

This is a superb book. Whilst I do not agree with everything written, it definitely opens your mind and allows you to truly esteem to a proper understanding of the sacrament of marriage. My fave articles are the Lawler and Cooke articles. MARRIAGE IS AWESOME! This book made me understand it a great deal more! THANKS WARREN AND SCOTT!

A great college text for Christian Marriage.

This is the fifth semester I have used this text in my Marriage and Family course. Each semester I like it better. Wile difficult for the younger student, Perspectives allows the serious student to stretch his/her thinking on marriage in the Christian framework. This book is a must read by any Marriage and Family teacher at a Catholic college or university, and should be included in every college library.
