Christian marriage is founded on the instruction in Genesis that 'a man leaves his parents and is united with his wife'. However, in a changing age when living together before marriage appears to be the norm, and divorce is growing ever more common, some Christian attitudes towards marriage, sex and the family may be changing. This title will seek to look at different Christian attitudes towards sex and relationships, including the role of contraception and the purposes of marriage. We will consider how Christians view divorce; in particular how Catholics may annul a marriage, and how other Christians believe forgiveness is all important. Finally, we will consider Christianity's view on the family - why the family is believed to be important, and how Christians try to support families.

Reviews
I loved the way the music divided the introduction, the chapters and the summary. The music seemed to change towards the end which I guess was intentional. This kept my attention and I think that it would for other students. The content was pretty good and to the point. I could buy this.
