This book is truly terrible. Sure, it contains a few tidbits of information that may be interesting. However, you have to put up with it's horrible formatting and blatant promotion of the Cengagenow service to get to that. This book is honestly difficult to read because of how badly it's formatted. There are hundreds of pages with extraneous insert blurbs, a few of which take up most of the page, leaving only two or three rows for the actual text underneath it. The only thing this book is 'good' for (and I use that term more than a bit sarcastically) is for passing a class that requires it.

I really enjoyed "Choices in Relationships: An Introduction to Marriage and the Family" by David Knox and Caroline Schacht. I needed it previously as a textbook for a class, but I enjoyed it so much that I still read through it time and again. It provides extremely useful and in depth information about the same sorts of topics this book attempts to cover. If you have any choice in the matter, I highly suggest you get the Knox/Schacht book over this piece of trash.

This textbook is a useful textbook that is well written and informative. It is a very wordy textbook though, with a few diagrams spaced out throughout the text. It is a useful textbook though because it discusses many of the different issues that are pertinent to the field of sociology of the family, and discusses how many of these issues can be seen in society today.

Pleased with my purchase and arrived in the correct time frame. I needed the book for class and needed it quick. Arrived before I expected it too. Would definitely recommend!

I needed this book for school, but it was going for $200.00 dollars.I ordered the book and got it within five days before my class was going to start. The book was in great condition. It looked like it has been read, but it was in good enough condition for me to use in my class. I saved a lot of money. The book was well worth the price.

Great Condition; Very timely delivery; priced a little high, but much more reasonable than the school website/store. Overall, extremely satisfied! Thanks, Amazon! ;)

This was a textbook my daughter needed for a college class she is taking next sememster. We got right on getting used books and this one arrived in plenty of time for the semester. Great condition and fast service. Thaks.

I'm only half-way through the book, but it is proving to be very interesting. Some of it is a little biased, but what book isn't?

I was very pleased with the book I recieved. Not only was it $120 cheaper than buying a new one, but it was in perfect condition, and got here in a quick amount of time.

Marriages and Families was received in very good condition. It is very helpful and explores the field of partners, marriage, and the different concepts of family life. This book is easy to read and very good in identifying cultural differences and what constitutes a family.

It was great service except you neglected to mention that the book was sticky on the back. I didn't much appreciate finding this out until I got it. Fast service and the book is in good condition other than the back cover.
