Using Older Adults' Life Review In Marriage Preparation: Report From A Pilot Project, James J. Magee

James J. Magee

This article examines how four guidelines for sharing reminiscences with kin soon to be married enhanced the self-understanding of older adults while helping kin to recognize patterns they are bringing into the marriage.

The third is that the reviewers avoid discussions about relationships involving generations younger than their own.

The Connection Between Slavery And Prophecy As It Related To The American Nation In The Writings Of The Adventist Pioneers During The Antebellum Period, Trevor O'Reggio, Dojcin Zivadinovic

The period between 1850 and 1865 was a period of major social upheavals in American society; the major issue was the slavery.
