Now fully revised and published by Oxford University Press, Intimate Relationships, Marriages, and Families , Ninth Edition, is an accessible, comprehensive introduction to marriage and family with a focus on strengthening families and effective coping strategies. This text combines the most current research with an emphasis on family background and diversity. Each chapter concludes with a section on public policy and critical thinking questions.
Reading this book was a kind of eye-opening experience for me. I never thought marriage is such a complicated thing that you should work on all the time as your job, otherwise, it can tear apart easily. To have successful and happy family is all about learning and growing together. As a textbook, it is written very well. I enjoyed reading it. But mostly, the concept itself is interesting. I think it will be very beneficial if couples get a good understanding of marriage, sex, relationship, communication, and all the other things that make your life happy. This book will help you understand that.
