This thesis is a combination of 'historical-descriptive' and 'action' research. Insofar as possible, the effectiveness of the divorce recovery program known as Fresh Start Australia Pty. Ltd. was evaluated. The thesis includes a study of the high rate of divorce, the social impact of the disintegration of the family and the perceived failure of the church to address this problem. The writer seeks to encourage and endorse marriage and contrast the benefits to direct and collateral damage done by divorce. Insofar as possible, the writer examined the biblical role of marriage, divorce and re-marriage throughout biblical and contemporary times. The research includes pre- and post-seminar assessments with the attendees (clients) of two Queensland Fresh Start chapters; a five-year follow-up with former clients; follow-up surveys with former Fresh Start facilitators, speakers and other leaders; surveys almost 500 ministers and other church leaders seeking to determine the attitudes toward marriage/divorce/re-marriage; and, over 1700 surveys of a cross section of the Australian society regarding attitudes and values on relationships/marriage/fidelity/divorce/re-marriage.
