In our view, successful marriages and families are those in which family members are striving to live the gospel of Jesus Christ and apply gospel principles in their family relationships. This volume contains both prophetic counsel and perspectives from social science research to help readers establish and maintain those principles in their marriages and families.Successful Marriages and Families: Proclamation Principles and Research Perspectives 1st Edition is written by Alan J.
