Product Description
Book Description
This is a book to help counselors understand and deal with typical problems that arise in a marriage by offering biblical solutions.
From the Back Cover
"Counselors unanimously find that marriage and family problems outnumber all other counseling problems combined," writes Jay Adams. "For that reason alone, counselors should want to learn all they can about marriage counseling." This is a book to help counselors understand and deal with typical problems that arise in a marriage. The approach is to offer not merely solutions, but biblical solutions. Chapter by chapter, each problem that is brought into focus is addressed by Scripture, and a solution arising from Scripture is developed. Unless one understands what a biblical marriage is supposed to be, it is difficult to solve marriage problems. For that reason, Dr. Adams spends the first few chapters developing a biblical model. Then he treats many of the specific kinds of problems that typically arise: life patterns, priorities, children, sex-roles, in-laws, etc. This is a book that belongs on every pastor's and every counselor's shelf.

A Must Read for Christian Couselors
22 July 2001
Format:Paperback
Solving Marriage Problems, by Jay Adams is a short easy to read book of only 122 pages. One should not be fooled by its brevity however. As far as a well annotated, academic treatise on marriage and family counseling goes, this book does not purport to be of that genre. What it is rather, is a very well thought out, practical handbook for the Christian counselor.
It follows judiciously it's a priori notion that God is in control of our lives, and therefore has the right to prescribe what is best for His children. It proscribes any solutions based solely on human ingenuity, but recommends instead a reliance on God's word. One gets the distinct impression while reading this book, that in the mind of the author, no marriage problem is too insurmountable for God, when these biblical principles are applied.
The assignments at the end of each chapter are an indispensable tool that counselors should avail themselves of. They force counselors to think very hard about the principles discussed in the previous pages. On balance, this is an excellent book that should be on the shelf of every serious Christian counselor.

Not surprised
9 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is a representative authority of helpfulness in understanding what is necessary for couples to live happy lives. Dr Adams's source of authority is from the words of God, so that we are led by a power greater tht anything that we can ever imagine.I can easily recommend this for any person looking for help from an authoritative source.ColvinB

Great for Biblical Counselors
30 May 2007
Format:Paperback
The purpose of this book is to provide Biblical Solutions to Marriage Problems for Christian Counselors. If you are a Christian Counselor or in a troubled marriage, this book is great. In 122 pages Jay Adams precisely defines marriage as a covenant companionship and explains what this means to the marital relationship. This book also addresses many of the most common marital problems including communication, self-centeredness, money, blame shifting, in-laws, children, former spouses, work, peer pressure, and social mobility. In addition to a biblical analysis of marriage and of such problem issues, the book provides exercises to assist in resolving the problems your marriage or your counselee may be experiencing. An excellent book for its stated purpose.
