Here's a post from my friend and pro-life activist, Sue Turner...... -- hope you are having a great day! As we turn on our air conditioning, let's remember our troops in Iraq. Note the approximate temps they are working in this week, with LAYERS of heavy kevlar, helmets, gear, guns, all the while watching for terrorists... May God have Mercy on them, and on all those who do not appreciate them... Pray for the end to the violence of abortion, and we might see the end to other types of violence worldwide... for their lives, Sue 7-Day Forecast for Baghdad, Iraq Friday 115 degrees Saturday 117 degrees Sunday 120 degrees Monday 122 degrees Tuesday 122 degrees Wednesday 121 degrees Thursday 120 degrees Prayer request .

...talking points with your children who are of marryin' age...

from the American Association of Family and Marrriage Therapists...... Predicting a Satisfying Marriage Social scientists and clinicians have found two dozen or so specific factors that predict future marital satisfaction. These factors can be viewed as forming a triangle-a model known as the marriage triangle. The three major factors in the triangle are: Individual traits: These include an individual's personality traits and emotional health, as well as values, attitudes, and beliefs. Examples of such traits are: flexibility and self-esteem (positive factors), depression and impulsiveness (negative factors), interpersonal skills (e.g., assertiveness), and realistic beliefs about marriage. Couple traits: These include couple communication and conflict resolution skills, degree of acquaintance (how long and how well the couple has known each other), similarity of values and goals (positive factors), and living together as a trial marriage (negative factor). Personal and relationship contexts: These include family background characteristics such as previous marriages, existing children, the quality of an individual's parents' marriage, family relationship quality, age at marriage, and parents' and friends' approval of the relationship
