Useful resources for R11

Books

The following are indicative books for this weekend: For more detailed bibliographies see our Marriage Booklists.
Why not tell us of some books you have found useful? If the webmaster agrees we'll list them here.

R11 Marriage Web Resources

You may find the following web sites helpful for Marriage. Material on the net has no quality control making tutors very wary - and rightly so! Nevertheless there is a growing amount of first class work on line particularly coming from Religious Studies Departments of good Universities. Treat with care and you'll find it very useful.

The Internet is not 100% reliable and documents move, disappear and change their names. If you find a link does not work, try again in an hour, a day, or a week. But do feel free to email us to report a link doesn't work. Don't forget to tell us the name of the link!

Sorry I haven't had a chance to find web pages yet - please recommend some!

See the general religion links as a starting point for your own searching

Preparation

In preparation, it would be helpful to briefly "discuss with your home church minister the policy of your local church in relation to marriage (e.g. the remarriage of divorcees, need for church attendance, form of preparation)." It would be particularly useful for you to see or bring with you marriage preparation material.
