The processes of modernization and globalization promise more
wealth and health for many people. But they are also a threat to
the stability and quality of marriage and family life. This new
book -- at once sobering and constructive -- looks at the impact of
these processes on marriage and asks what Christianity, in
cooperation with other religions, can do to strengthen married life
today.
Among the deleterious effects of modernization and globalization
on marriage are a worldwide drift of men away from the
responsibility of parenthood and the tendency of mothers too
readily to take on the task of childrearing alone. After looking at
recent research on these and other problems, Don Browning suggests
that the cure for modern marital disruption entails reforming and
reconstructing the institution of marriage while also nurturing
relevant forms of social support. Yet the effort to initiate a
"world marriage revival" requires a complex cultural work, and
Browning explores the key contributions that the religions of the
world must make for such an effort to be successful.
