The textbook is well informative but certain parts seem to be more biased by contrasting men and women in a variety of things and seems to constructed, but the technical portions of different love styles, dating concepts, marriage concepts and other things were very well in precision on simplicity. I'm thankful for the book I've brought but it does raise question a little, that maybe I should have reviewed my options a little more but in all I do think the Marriage and Family: The Quest for Intimacy is a good book to possess just think there could be more improvement and less biased propaganda and something not seeming as its from feminist studies but more equilibrium without the assumption as men are more so batters or brutes, I've also notice that theirs a great deal proportion of accusations that make it seem like almost every thing is rape, assault or molestation (wasn't feeling those sections as much).
This was a good book to rent for a class. The information was current and really does help with learning about marriage and family. If you are single or even married, you will learn how to make your relationship stronger by reading this book. There is something for every couple here.
Great book. I may disagree with a few points, but overall, I have been highly educated by this read. The compilation of study cases is very well done as is the general layout of this book. I wish I had read this before I was married!
I have never loved a textbook before. This book is just fantastic! The best chapters by far are the ones about power and conflict as well as communication. I will certainly be keeping it and reference it often.
Classic sociologic treatise on mariage, familly, and the quest for intimacy! Easy, enjoyable reading, but written by a social scientist and, therefore based on empirical studies not "Chopra-like" love peptalks. Discusses the legitamacy of common American beliefs on the basis of what social science reveals.Used in the past as social science text for marriage and family-type sourses!
I had to purchase this textbook for a sociology class and I have even decided to keep it because it was very informative on relationships and marriage. I hope to one day be able to use more of it in helping my future family and friends in strengthening their relationships. I found a lot of interesting facts that I did not think were true before.
This textbook is very interesting and covers many aspects of marriage and family life. The authors take generous amounts of research and organize it into understandable reading.
Covers a wide range of topics and gives some enlightening information to some old questions about parenting, family and emotional developement.
