Building African Christian Marriages

This book addresses topics like lobolo, infertility and the role of extended family intervention to one’s marriage. These traits are in certain philosophies of life and schools of thoughts being discredited, discouraged and often ignored by the very same people who are expected to uphold them with pride of their own identity. Various factors including Western thought as well as urbanization had been cited as some of the reasons alienating African people from these practices. The intention of this book is not primarily to convince African people to uphold their own traditions, but to indicate how unjustly and unfairly had the practices been criticized and ignored. Some of the outcomes of such ignorance are also listed. This book is a research-based since more than seventy-five percent of the work is derived from the author's postrgraduate studies. Pastoral caregivers and parents need the information contained in this book to help them balance their thinking between some African traits and Biblical view when dealing with African marital and premarital issues.
