The Covenant is the means of grace by which the relationship with God is accepted and then sustained. It is therefore not so much about getting in to a relationship with God as it is about staying in it.
Social norms that assume different standards for women than for men in marriage are outdated and should be rejected. Laws in civil society should define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Consumer behaviour studied through survey research, survey data collection and analysis methods. Survey research on the poor, the wealthy, car accident victims, injured workers, and businessmen. A major study for two decades has followed all the members of an original sample of families, forming a self-replacing panel and allowing studies of the dynamics of change in income and in family composition.
