The secular social experiments of the last 50 years have left family life in a bad way in our country. The latest statistics show that 41% of all marriages end in divorce. Rob Parsons, the author, works with CARE for the Family. Aimed at the busy middle-class male and female of today, this book is his slim but powerful attempt to save shaky marriages from breakdown.
It is written in the same style as his previous best-seller, The Sixty-Minute Father. And indeed the motivation for this new book comes from his concern for the children of broken marriages. One page proclaims boldly: 'It may not always be right to stay together 'for the sake of the children'. But it's still a good reason.'
