Education and preparation for marriage: New approaches

The crisis in marriage suggests a need to move from a remedial to a preventive approach in dealing with marital failure. The profound change marriage is undergoing indicates a transition from a hierarchical, institutional form to the companionship form described by Burgess thirty years ago. The new style is difficult and requires special preparation. A shift from the knowledge-oriented approaches to marriage preparation characteristic of previous efforts is desirable. Primary attention should be given to personal and interpersonal dynamics and the facilitation of behavior change. Five procedures are described to facilitate the realization of this goal.

Analysis of the structure of a marriage crisis with the aid of the Joint Rorschach test

The method of the ‘Joint Rorschach Test’ and its application in the quantitative evaluation of the structure and dynamics of dyads and groups has been described in previous publications. In the present work we have turned our attention primarily to the analysis of the content of the protocol obtained from the joint test. On the basis of a detailed description of a marriage crisis, we have shown how the Joint Rorschach Test can lead to a deeper understanding of the extremely complicated and disturbed relation between the partners. In particular it becomes clear, how the personality of one partner changes in the interaction with the other, how certain aspects of the personality are expanded or limited in depth and structure, or suppressed.

Crisis in marriage-reification or reality?

Marital life inevitably includes moments when spouses view themselves, the other, or their marriage relationship in knowing-all-about, reductionist categories. Because living the “truth” of such categories or reifications destroys hope, such moments are defined as marital crises.

‘The Forme of Mariage’: 1562 And Today

In The Divine Imperative, Emil Brunner has recorded this conviction: ‘The crisis in marriage is a wholly new phenomenon.It presents the Christian ethic with the most serious and the most difficult problem with which a Christian ethic has to deal…. What an ethic has to say on this question shows whether it is any use or not.’ That the problem is a serious one is clear from the frequency with which various aspects of it make ‘news’; that it affects all the churches and perhaps most urgently the national churches of this country is equally evident that many, even within the ministry of the Church of Scotland, are theologically unprepared for its discussion has been demonstrated in many Presbyteries in recent years; and it is clear too that, while discussion has hinged upon remarriage of divorced persons, this is only one side of a large, complex subject, very close to the practical work of the ministry and, for the most part, as yet theologically unexplored. The lack of serious discussion of marriage is in striking contrast to the discussion of baptism, yet, as a matter of practical concern for ministers and people it surely ranks at least as high in urgency. At the moment one cannot hope to do more than introduce some aspects of marriage for discussion on a theological level.
