"The Marriage Gap"

Dear Faculty, Students, and Friends,

Justice Sears
Justice Sears


On Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010, Georgia Chief Justice (ret.) Leah Ward Sears will deliver a lecture entitled, "The Marriage Gap", at 5 p.m. in WB102 at the University of Virginia Law School.


"The Marriage Gap" explores the health of the family law system and marriage in America today, and the growing marital divide between college-educated and less-educated Americans. Justice Sears will also present a number of ideas for strengthening marriage in the United States.


Leah Ward Sears is the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia. Sears was the first African-American female Chief Justice in the United States. When she was first appointed as a justice in 1992 by Governor Zell Miller (D-GA), she became the first woman and youngest person to sit on Georgia's Supreme Court.


The lecture is co-sponsored by the National Marriage Project, the Law School at the University of Virginia, the Center for Children Families and the Law, and the Center for Christian Study. Parking will be available in the D-2 lots at the Law School starting at 4:30 p.m.

- BUT I HAD HOPED FOR MORE
Marriage Isn't Always What Hollywood Portrays

I like the bit about Elvin and Dolly, married 69 years and when Dolly is dying Elvin says
"We had 69 wonderful years, but I had hoped for more."  Ah, yes.

- PORN RESOURCES

Diane,
I'm looking for resources for several couples I'm working with who have a problem with porn in their marriage.  I'd like books, DVDs to recommend.  Any suggestions?
Carl Brown

Hmmmmm.  I assume you are asking for porn TREATMENT resources.  I recently adding a new listing for a 6-part audio program on the Smart Marriages Directory.  I've not yet reviewed this one, but you might want to visit their website and check this out.    
The titles of the six CDs are:
* Why Marriage and Porn Don't Mix
* Performing Marital CPR after Discovery
* Yours, Mine, and Ours
* Addiction and Intimacy
* The Key Steps to Rebuilding Trust
* The Vision of Long-Term Recovery

Here's their Directory Listing:
Strengthening Recovery Through Strengthening Marriage: Healing From Pornography Addiction.  The discovery of a pornography addiction in a committed relationship often sends a couple into a confusing world of mistrust, disorientation, and insecurity.  Join Kevin Skinner and Geoff Steurer, both licensed marriage and family therapists and specialists in treating pornography addiction, as they compassionately address questions and dilemmas faced by couples throughout all stages of recovery from pornography addiction.  This 6-part audio program is 6 hours long and costs $40 plus shipping.

- DIRECTORY – OPEN SEASON!
Several of you have inquired about listing your programs and resources on
the online Smart Marriages Directory of Programs and Resources. Now is the
best time to list.  Why?  Because the $75 fee covers the full calendar year
(Jan to Dec/2011). Sign up now, and you get the the full year for the $75.
That'd just $6.50 a month. You can wait until later in the year to sign up,
but the fee is not pro-rated – you'll pay the same $75 fee for the full 12
months or any portion of 2011.  

The listing includes live links to your website AND I only promote programs
and Resources to the newslist that are listed on the Directory.  (Or that
make it into some big media coverage.)

To list programs/resources:
Send your 100 word listing VIA EMAIL and send payment by check payable to
CMFCE to: 5310 Belt Rd NW, Washington, DC, 20015.
Here are samples of a few listing to see how it's done:

Arp – 10 Great Dates
http://www.smartmarriages.com/directory/64

Miller – Thrivesphere
http://www.smartmarriages.com/directory/273

Ennis – Third Option
http://www.smartmarriages.com/directory/32

Wagman – Relationship Center
http://www.smartmarriages.com/directory/109

Popkin – Active Parenting
http://www.smartmarriages.com/directory/284

There is also a $225 SCHEDULE OPTION - the 100 words listing PLUS
the option to list your class dates/locations/prices.  You can, of course,
list your class dates/locations on your own website, but two members who
tried that approach in 2010 have opted to go back to the full
schedule option for 2011.  Advertising pays.

Here are a few "with schedule" samples to see how this works:

If you are a military or first responder couple, we hope to see you at the retreat!  If you know a military or first responder couple, we trust you will forward this opportunity to them!  We don't know how quickly this retreat will sell out or even if it will.  However, we do know that the last Marriage Under Fire retreat sold out in two weeks and the wait list was twice as long as the number of couples we could accommodate.  We hope you will not delay registering and please pass this opportunity on to those that protect you and your family!
