"Family Life Now is the best family relations book on the market."
Beckie Adams, Ball State University

Victor Harris, Utah State University
Writing Style
"I think the author's writing style is one of her most important assets. She writes as if the student is attending an interesting lecture with humor and applicable examples. I can see undergraduates excited to read the material."
Alan Taylor, East Carolina University
"The writing style is relevant, diverse, and engaging!"
Joanne Sommers, Bowling Green State University
"I always like the vignettes the author uses to attract the reader to learn more."
Alan Taylor, East Carolina University
"The author has done an excellent job in defining terms and explaining concepts. This is especially seen in her presentation of theories."
Denise Bodman, Arizona State University
Currency
"The research is current, relevant, and accurate."
Joanne Sommers, Bowling Green State University
"I love the topics in the chapter on Commitment. This is by far the most up-to-date chapter I've seen. Students will love the 'nowness' of it."
Denise Bodman, Arizona State University
"The most current research is used where helpful and relevant, but still-critical classics haven't been cut."
Erica Yaeger, West Virginia University
"I think the updates that have been implemented to the current edition are well worth students' money and time."
Heather Von Bank, Minnesota State University
Pedagogy
"The boxes are excellent ways to engage the students and explore their own values and beliefs"
Joanne Sommers, Bowling Green State University
"The additional features, such as 'Own It', 'Family Life Now' 'Family Table', etc, are excellent ways to create classroom or small group discussions."
Beckie Adams, Ball State University
"I really like the concept of the 'Own It!' boxes. These are a great opportunity for students to think critically about how they view things in their own life."
Jeremy Boyle, Kansas State University
"'Family Life Now' is relevant and informative. I especially like the bullet format that allows the student to make a quick evaluation of the relative positions of either side, then engage with the material through the questions below."
Erica Yaeger, West Virginia University
Organization
"The topics fit well together and there's a natural flow."
Beckie Adams, Ball State University
A candid and thoughtful conversation about family life.
Welch’s text combines the personal touch and scholarly expertise of an outstanding teacher.
Family Life Now Census Update 2e explores the ways that family members and intimate partners interact, and examines how families adapt to stresses, changes, and everyday challenges. As products of our families of origins, who we are and who we become is influenced by our family lives, a central theme woven throughout the book.
This book follows the Family Life Education framework to examine marriages, families, and intimate relationships. Throughout the text, theories from the fields of sociology, family studies, psychology, lifespan human development, and other social sciences are integrated so that they can be applied to real life situations. The text also presents enough biological science to explain some of the physical realities of who we are and why we behave as we do.
The Census Update program incorporates 2010 Census data into a course–simply and easily. The components of the Census Update Program include an updated census edition with all charts and graphs–to reflect the results of the 2010 Census. In addition, A Short Introduction to the U.S. Census is available and an updated MyFamilyLab.
