Better Marriages Fiesta |
-->
Is it a conference? A celebration? A weekend getaway? A fiesta (party)? YES!
If you've never attended an international conference, you will not want to miss the Fiesta this summer! It promises to be a major, energetic, high-impact event that will transform your relationship.
New this year!
- Choose from 50 workshops on topics ranging from developing a WOW sexual relationship to developing marriage cent$ and overcoming the number one cause of divorce. We're offering three tracks: 1) couples (for couples who want to grow closer and learn new relationship skills), 2) professionals (for Leader Couples and professional marriage educators, counselors and social workers who want to learn about new resources and gain CEUs), and 3) faith-based (for individuals and couples who want to be inspired or learn strategies for reaching couples through faith communities)
- Tell your relationship story on video. We're helping launch the Conscious Relationship World Tour in partnership with Relationship Coaching Institute and giving you the opportunity to be interviewed for the Inspirational Relationships Video Project (www.consciousrelationshipvideo.com). Reserve your interview time slot at the Fiesta!
- Renew your marriage vows in a wedding-like setting. We're sponsoring a giveaway contest: Forever and Always: Marriage Vow Renewal. Couples in New Mexico who have been married at least five years will be invited to submit essays about why they should be selected to receive an all-expenses-paid Vow Renewal Ceremony. We'll hear many heart-felt stories of couples who are in the trenches, making their marriages work. One couple will be selected to renew their vows in the lovely courtyard at Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town on Saturday night of the Fiesta. YOU are invited to renew your vows as well and then join in a wedding-type reception and dance. Come dressed for the occasion - it will be a night to remember!
- Meet new couples. We're partnering with local community-based couples agencies in Albuquerque in order to serve an additional 350+ local couples.
The list of nationally-known speakers and presenters is growing!
Join the excitement. Registration will be available soon!

Bert and Millie, Jerry and Margo
by Dr. Jennifer Baker
The first 3 ½ years of our marriage we lived in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. We were about an hour and a half from Paul's family and more than 12 hours from mine. The nature of Paul's job did not allow us to visit either one of our families very often and we felt a little homesick-me especially. We had been part of a good size group of like-minded friends in college, but now we were out on our own and feeling somewhat isolated. We were also very new at marriage. Fortunately, we were blessed to benefit from two older couples who took us under their wing, invited us into their homes, modeled a good marriage, and encouraged us in meaningful ways. --> Have Questions About Relationships?

Ask A Question web page where you can send Dr. Baker a question that she just might answer the next time she's on the air with Andy Taylor - Tuesday, December 21. -->
