School's In - Marriage and the Law: What Students Should Know

There are 5 activities included in this lesson: a marriage quiz, background reading, writing a marriage contract, defining personal philosophies and values, and an extension activity. Students may complete all activities, or only select ones at the teacher's discretion.
