Die impak van die postmodernisme op voorhuwelikse verhoudings : 'n pastorale studie / R.S. Steyn

The shift from Modernism to Postmodernism had a dramatic impact on different spheres
of life, especially on premarital relationships. The Song of songs has been used as
basis theory in this study on premarital relationships. The study attempts to lay down
guidelines for premarital relationships from the conviction that human relationships are
grounded in God's love for man. The perspectives which have became evident are
developed and evaluated through the meta-theory. Any study on young people in
relationships must consider changes in society due to the fact that young people perform
an important seismographic function. This is due to the fact that they are not only deeply
affected by these changes but are also acting as indicators for the demands and
challenges that changing times has on people and relationships. The lifecycle from late
adolescence to early adulthood is studied. Special focus is given to different areas of
development in this lifecycle as well as to different relationships young people are
involved with. Qualitative interviews have been used to determine the effect of the
Postmodernism and the specific lifecycle on young people in premarital relationships. A
practice-orientated theoretical framework for pastoral guidance of young people in
premarital relationships is drafted. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Pastoral))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.
