It’s that time of year again, when we begin to make promises to ourselves that if we were being honest, we can’t possibly achieve. I’ve got a “doable” thing you can actually get accomplished and it will broaden your thinking. Purchase a book called Marriage and Caste in America by Kay Hymowitz.
It’s an important read for everyone.
Stop!
Did you accomplish the goal of reading Kay’s book? What you just read was the beginning of my December 2007 blog…a year ago! It’s still a great resolution and easier than losing 10 pounds and exercising for 2 hours every day!

Thank you for the opportunity to get the Marriage Myth Buster Guide. My Husband and I have had some hard times over the past 5 years (we just celebrated our 5th anniversary). I am hoping that by getting involved here we can get closer and become stronger.
Thanks for being here!

Thanks for blogging...and taking the very pro-active step of getting your Marriage Myth Buster Guide.
The truth about marriage is, marriage works when you work on your marriage. Reading articles, books and taking workshops to enhance your marriage really goes a long way in helping you with communication and conflict resolutions skills. Whether you've been married 5 years or 50...we all need to be working on our marriages. Let us know your thoughts once you've reviewed your Marriage Myth Buster guide.
