There is little appreciation for the nature of conversion
as an ongoing process made up of many steps forward and backward along the way; or, for
marriage as only one option among a couple, or even a few, equally
viable, equally «holy»
alternatives for living out one's God - given vocation... I don't have to dig too deep into my own experience to recognize the hang - ups that this glorification of
marriage and a one - time conversion experience can foster.
Since our founding in 1973, the AzAMFT has been promoting the field of
marriage and family therapy
as a
viable alternative to other traditional methods of providing mental health services.
