Review

"The pedagogical features of this text are excellent. These help increase student understanding of interpersonal relationships and diversity in relationships rather than simply relegating it to one chapter. The non-biased view allows students to fully appreciate the challenges faced and rewards reaped by today’s American marriages and families."

"The pedagogical features in this textbook are unrivalled. I frequently receive marriage and family textbooks from various publishers. I have yet to come across a textbook with equal richness of pedagogical features."
