More than mere partnership
Do you ever feel like there's so much good news around that you may just burst with elation? I do, but now is not one of those times! A lot of news makes it to my inbox, but lately I've noticed from the titles alone that good news is hard to come by these days -- especially if one is not looking really hard.
So, when I chanced upon this title --

“Data from the left and the right show that healthy mother-and-father families are far less likely to be in poverty than single-parent families. The strong bonds of an intact family are like an inoculation against the disease of poverty. Why wouldn’t we do our best to see every child get that protection?”
The funding proposed in the Healthy Marriage Initiative will go toward marriage and relationship education, through:
- training programs for married couples;
- divorce-reduction programs;
- marriage-mentoring programs;
