From the back cover...

Is betrothal right for you? All Christian parents want their children to have God’s first and best in all areas of their lives. And this includes marriage. As their children approach their late teens or early twenties, the issues concerning marriage begin to come into focus, often accompanied with feelings of caution, anxiety, uneasiness or fear. How can they help their children choose the right mate? What guidelines will they use? What does the Bible say? Where can they turn for help?

In an effort to avoid the dangers and pitfalls of the modern dating game, viewed as philandering or immorality in former generations, many Christian families are giving attention to the concept of betrothal. Could the idea of a prearranged marriage with a program of rules, time-frames, predefined conditions and protracted parental meddling be the answer to their dilemma? After all, betrothal seems to be the current trend that is sweeping the country.

Michael Pearl puts fears to rest in this straight forward, practical booklet as he takes a critical look at the concept of betrothal and why it may not be the best approach for Christian families seeking the best for their sons and daughters. Instead, he suggests an approach that will guide them in maintaining the high standards that will lead them to make intelligent and objective decisions based on an informed worldview and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
