Acknowledgments

The development of this Life Management curriculum guide was made possible by the interest and efforts of a number of people who are concerned about education for family life in Utah. Teachers, administrators, counselors, parents, and many students have offered opinions and ideas about how a one-semester comprehensive course should attempt to prepare adolescents to establish homes and families of their own. Each suggestion and different perspective has been gratefully received and carefully considered. Though a curriculum is never finished, this guide represents our best efforts to weave it all together into a comprehensible, yet digestible whole. We appreciate all the support and cooperation that has brought us this far.
