Preparing for Your Marriage

William McRae feels that most couples enter into marriage unprepared. Their expectations are unrealistic, their roles are undeveloped, their responsibilities are unknown, and their goals are undetermined. Because of this every couple married by Pastor McRae must be willing to participate in a premarriage study program. The material that has been developed and used over the years is essentially the content of this book.

William McRae (D. Min., Dallas Theological Seminary) is chancellor at Ontario Bible College and Ontario Theological Seminary in Willowdale, Ontario
