As we did last week, we will be spending much time considering the marriage and family thought of our authors, Professors Riggs and Tweedell.  In these next three chapters, we will be considering the following.

1. Dating:  Getting to Know You
2. Love and Mate Selection:  What’s Love Got To Do With It?
3. Marriage and Family Life:  The Early Years

Again, understand that our goal is to view each of these important issues through the lens of Scripture.  Thus, you will no doubt encounter thought in the text that may counter what we experience in popular culture.  That said, please remember that our primary lens for these issues is Scripture rather than the changing values of popular culture.

• Prepare to discuss at least 3 concepts that could be applied in your family setting. Support your statements with the text.
