Lesson Material
The teacher's manual for this course is the Marriage and Family Relations Instructor’s Manual. There is also an accompanying study guide, the Marriage and Family Relations Participant’s Study Guide.
This course is designed to help Church members strengthen marriages and families and find joy in their family relationships. The bishopric or branch presidency is responsible to see that the course is implemented effectively.
Because Church members have different needs and come from different family situations, the course is divided into two parts. Part A, "Strengthening Marriages," is particularly helpful for married couples and for members who are preparing to be married. Part B, "Parents' Responsibilities to Strengthen Families," assists parents and grandparents in their efforts to "bring children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). Members who participate in the course should understand that they have the option to attend according to their individual needs.
Ward and branch leaders may be flexible in their use of the course, according to the promptings of the Spirit and the needs of individual members.
