Dear Mom, What if I’m failing as a follower? And what if my husband doesn’t seem to really want to lead?

Dear Mom, This is a little embarrassing…but please tell me that sex is more than what I think it is! We have all the kids we want, the passion has pretty much cooled off, and honestly sex seems like the last thing on my list.

We are reaching out to you and those who have taken a large or small stake in our ministry since it began in 1981. We need your assistance in spreading the word and encouraging people to attend an important national event in March here in the Chicago area.

 

We have served the broader Catholic community locally and nationally in a variety of areas of outreach, as well as the constituents of the Healthy Marriage Initiative a decade ago. Still our hearts are in serving black families through our ministry of encouragement and empowerment.

 

As the heading above states, we are hosting the first National Black Catholic Marriage and Family Symposium at theHyatt Regency Schaumburg. The dates are March 4-5 with a pre-conferene that begins on March 3. This gathering will be much more than a conference but a symposium where participants will do much thought-sharing, both facilitated and informal.

 

We have lined up an impressive crew of speakers and facilitators. Go towww.marriageonalampstand.org to see the line up.

 

This initiative is an unprecedented collaboration among Black Catholic leaders and Catholic Family Life Ministry leaders. This Symposium is a pioneer initiative that will help fill some systemic gaps in providing effective outreach to African Americans by Catholic family life ministries. Fueled by the National Black Catholic Congress’Pastoral Plan of Action, Article IX, “Getting Married and Staying Married,” and the National Association of Catholic Family Ministers’ establishing a board position that focuses on African-American outreach, this initiative has broad support nationally.

 

Noted theologian Fr. Bryan Massingale will articulate a theology of marriage and family through a lens of social justice and in the context of the African-American Narrative (cultural, historical, and spiritual).Dr. Linda Malone-Colón of Hampton University and the National Center on African-American Marriage & Parenting (NCAAMP) will present the sociological imperative for a specialized outreach to African Americans. We (Andrew & Terri Lyke) will present a pragmatic strategy for effective outreach, which will be based on our 35 years of ministry and 40 years of marriage.

 

We intend to publish the outcomes of the facilitated conversations. It will be a document for the Church to use to better engage its Family Life initiatives with African Americans.

 

Partnering with us are the National Association of Black Catholic Ministers (NABCA), the National Association of Catholic Family Life Ministers (NACFLM), the National Black Catholic Congress (NBCC), and ArusiNetwork.

 

We need this important gathering to be well attended. We ask you to help us promote the event by encouraging the people you know, couples (married or unmarried), pastoral ministers, catechists, and anyone who is a stakeholder of marriage, to participate. You may download a promotionalflyer by clicking here. Download a bulletin ad by clicking here. Register online by going to the website: www.marriageonalampstand.org.

 

There will be pre-conference certified training sessions, and free seminars. See the table below for pricing details.

 

 

Visit www.marriageonalampstand.org for bios and descriptions of presentations. The fruits of this initiative will be parishes and families more engaged. Such engagement strengthens families and thereby strengthens communities.

 

Thank you for supporting this effort. Contact us if you have any questions:info@arusi.org; (312) 912-9951.

Beth Mendel derailed her successful career in design when her husband's company relocated him from New York City to Virginia. They moved their four children into new schools, sold their apartment in the city, and bought a new home in Virginia. Her parents even joined them in the move. Her husband's job was to downsize the company's operations in Virginia. However, a few months later, after her husband had successfully downsized the company, his employer in New York City called him back to headquarters for a meeting. Read More 
Historically, highly educated women have been less likely to marry and have children than their less educated peers. Female employment has likewise been associated with lower fertility at the national level. Read More
There's growing recognition of how much our first years of life affect us not just as children but into adulthood. Parents are routinely told how important it is for them to talk to their babies and toddlers, for instance; we know that deficits in young children's vocabulary and cognitive development are hard to rectify down the road.    Read More 
Gary wasn't mad at his ex-employer. A self-employed contractor for years, Gary joined a new company as a contracting manager because he believed it would enable him to fulfill what he saw as a solemn duty towards his son: giving him a more secure future. So when Gary was suddenly laid off, despite the company's apparently handsome profits, it came as a shock to him. But he was mainly mad at himself, not the employer, for making what he called "the biggest mistake of my life": joining the company in the first place.Read More
Harvard's 75-Year Study Reveals The Secret To Living A Happy Life. And Here It Is.
There are countless ways to live life, but what if one way was better than others? What if there were certain "secrets" to ensuring greater happiness, and we could reveal those secrets to you right here, right now?

Sounds like the tagline of some hippy-dippy self-help book, doesn't it? But the secrets to happiness may be actually be found in one incredibly in-depth study from Harvard.

It's no longer a 'Leave It to Beaver' world for American families - but it wasn't back then, either
It's less common today for American children to have a family like the ones portrayed on television in the 1950s and '60s. One of the biggest reasons is a dramatic rise in kids living with a single parent.
In 2014, just 14% of children younger than 18 lived with a stay-at-home mother and a working father who were in their first marriage. This marks a dramatic decline from the height of the postwar baby boom, when these kinds of households were more common.  Read More 
A Troubling Combination: Depression, Poverty, and Parenting 
There is a troubling trend that researchers have identified again and again - low-income parents, especially single mothers, have higher rates of depression and depressive symptoms than their higher-income counterparts. A new Child Trends' study found that more than half of a group of low-income mothers in Maryland felt down, depressed, or hopeless in the past year and almost a third had those feelings combined with a lack of interest or pleasure in doing things.  Read More 
The New York Times wedding announcements are regularly mined by journalists looking for trends in everything from dating to fashion. While the elites profiled in these short articles are hardly representative of the population, they are often on the cutting edge. So reading about the courtship of Emily McPherson, 29, and Warren Holmes, 30, gave me some hope for the future of marriage among the millennials. Read More

EXERPTS FROM RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE
1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
3. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
4. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."
5. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
6. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!".
7. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'.
8. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.
