Not Marriage Material
I got an email from my boyfriend this morning which has led me to think about my past relationships all day. His best friend from high school got married last night and this is what he had to say about the wedding: “I wish I could have gone to this wedding with you. A lot [...]

How Will We Love?
Chris Brickler was one of the keynote speakers at the It Takes a Village Parenting Conference this past weekend in San Diego. His presentation touched everyone in the audience and his film truly inspires and challenges us to change the way we, as a society, view – and value – commitment and marriage. Starting with [...]
