"My class has absolutely "gobbled-up"
the CONNECTIONS: Relationships and Marriage curriculum. As a result,
I decided to invest much more time and in-depth study into relationships,
communication and marriage then I never have before because of this
student interest. Thank you once again for making these materials
available to those of us who still strongly believe in the institution
of marriage and wish to convey to students the personal, family
and societal stability, security and fulfillment marriage affords."
