Divorce Prevention Holiday
Patty Newbold
November 2007

How would you like to learn to keep your marriage going strong through thick
and thin while saving money on a San Francisco vacation this summer? That's
what I'm planning to do.

I've been to an earlier Smart Marriages Conference, so I can't wait for the
jam-packed program to arrive in my mailbox for this one. I'll be taking some
of my favorite marriage education books with me for autographs, because many
of the authors will be there. And I'll be at all the keynotes, because I had
such a good time at the ones in 2006 and came away wiser to boot.

What's especially exciting about the 2008 conference? It's in San Francisco,
and the hotel, a Hilton, is only $115 a night, a 60% discount off their
AARP/AAA rates. The location is attracting plenty of big names -- Gary
Chapman, John Gray, Steven Stosny, Harville Hendrix, Howard Markman and
Scott Stanley, the founders of Marriage Savers, the co-author of Tony
Robbins' new marriage course, even the author of Mating in Captivity:
Unlocking Erotic Intelligence.

The price is very low, $355 for the whole thing, $185 a day, or $15 per
seminar for the Saturday afternoon sessions. There are big discounts for
students, your spouse, and people from one community or organization who
sign up as a group. If you're a social worker, marriage and family
therapist, psychologist, counselor, or family life educator, you can even
earn continuing education credits while you pick up tips on how to make your
marriage as wonderful as you hoped it would be.

The main conference runs from the evening of July 2 through the evening of
July 5, 2008. There are additional classes before and after to get yourself
certified as a marriage educator in a large number of proven marriage
education programs.

If this interests you, put yourself on the mailing list for the conference
brochure listing the 150 or so workshops, seminars, and keynotes. You might
also want to make your reservations at the Hilton before then.

Wow!!, Patty Newbold did a better job than I could of describing the
conference. Wish I could have her answering the phones - she's got it: how
the conference works and the options and highlights.  Maybe you could link
to this from your sites. Visit her site Assume Love for very wise, well
written, practical, helpful articles: http://www.assumelove.com/

Here's a sample of recent titles:

# The Pitfalls of Looking for Love Online
# Why Be Married? For the Future
# What Do You Need?
# Away from Her
