The development of this Life Management curriculum guide was made possfirle by the interest andeorts of a number of people who are concerned about education for family life in Utah. Teachers, administrators, counselors,parents, and many students have offired opinions and ideas about how a one-semester comprehensivecourse should attempt to prepare adoles- cents to establish homes and families of their own. Each suggestion and different perspective has been gratefullyreceived and carefully considered. Though a curriculum is never 'finished," this guiderepresents our best tfforts to weave it all together into a comprehensible, yet digestible whole. We appreciate all the support and cooperationthat has brought us this far.
