Description
About the Book
When a Jew marries a Christian, sometimes families, rabbis, ministers, and holidays present turmoil and confusion. This comprehensive, immensely practical self-help book for the country's 500,000 inter-faith households offers suggestions for a relationship at any stage. "Intermarried couples will benefit from the wisdom of this book".--Psychology Today.Book Synopsis
The Intermarriage Handbook is a comprehensive, immensely practical self-help book for interfaith couples. Judy Petsonk and Jim Remsen interviewed hundreds of experts: psychologists, family therapist, sociologists, religious leaders--and especially the couples themselves. They discovered that the cultural differences between Christians and Jews are as significiant as their religious upbringings. Even if husband and wife are not practicing a faith, they may be feeling the strain of being in an interfaith relationship.
Filled with true-life anecdotes and useful step-by-step suggestions for a relationship at any stage, The Intermarriage Handbook is a book that couples can turn to again and again--for help with the questions that matter most.
