In this course we have discussed the factors that make up healthy, happy, harmonious marriage and family relationships.

We have gone from the concepts of single living, falling in love, human sexuality, and mate selection to processes of marital communication and management of family resources to widowhood, divorce, remarriage, and stepparenting.

That is quite a lot of ground to cover in one semester. Those of you who are majors in the School of Home Economics and Family Ecology at the University of Akron know that we offer courses in each of the subject areas covered in this class. By the way, I happen to think you are quite fortunate in choosing your major!

For those of you that are not majors in the School , I invite you to take advantage of the courses we offer. Each one is an in-depth look at the subject matter, allowing you both personal and professional use of the material. To get some idea of what we have to offer, look through the bulletin, surf over to our website at http://www.uakron.edu.hefe/hefepage.html where the faculty is listed by area of specialization, and the various programs of study are detailed.
