- YOU SAVED ME

I've already said this film will be featured in the Film Festival at Smart
Marriages but you don't have to wait till July to see it.  As the website
says, *the you saved me movement has begun....*

Here are some of the testimonials from couples leaving a recent screening:

"" My husband and I watched the dvd for You Saved Me last night...What an
eye opener. I personally learned the importance of 4 key elements to making
marriage work: communication, sacrifice, compromise, and forgiveness. Also,
listening to all the couples brought tears to my eyes because I could see a
little bit of each couple in my marriage. I recommend this to any couple
considering marriage or already married.

"" Its so awesome to see positive images of black marriages especially with
all the negative that we hear and see. Ive always kept hope alive! LOL! I
applaud them for being open&sharing with the world what they have learned
thus far&even different issues that they had. Compromise&Sacrifice......God
is helping me with that... now. I like when Nisa Muhammad referred to the
movie "27 dresses". Its so true, how many of us can say that we know of 27
happy black marriages or have even been to 27 black marriage ceremonies? Im
so looking forward to more documentaries! Very encouraging&packed with
information. Well done Lamar&Ronnie Tyler!

 "" I am a fan of Patrick and Larry!!!!!!!!!! "It feels like I have been on
a honeymoon for 11 years." Lovin it!!!!!!!!!! Then when Patrick says that
you better know how to "do" before you say "I do." Lovin it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- SPEAKING OF SPOUSES

I just answered this question again, so will share it with the list.  I know
it's confusing: To obtain the $100 spouse discount for the Conference you do
NOT have to attend the same workshops.  You can sit together at all the
keynotes and lunches, so it's a great idea to split up and cover different
workshops.  However, to qualify for the $50 per day spouse INSTITUTE
discount, you DO have to attend the same institute - the discount is based
on the two of you sharing the training materials.  If you attend two
different Institutes, there is NO spouse discount.  If you attend the same
Institute but you each want your own set of materials, there is no spouse
discount.  Hope that helps.  Trust me, you'll want your spouse with you at
this beautiful Shingle Creek Resort and at this really wonderful conference.
