It’s day ONE here at the “Marriage and Family Advice Blog for Couples in Yukon” and I’ll attempt to keep this beginning post short, but since it is my introduction of things to come, I’d like to at least lay the ground-work so that you, my friend, will know what you can expect as we blog along the marriage & family highway with each other.First, let’s clear up the purpose I started this blog. OK?

Well, after almost losing my marriage and family 7 years ago and seeing way too many friends and relatives go through terrible divorces,I gazed upon my lovely children and realized that I needed to quit complaining about the state of things and start doing something about it

But what could i do?, I thought to myself.

That is when beginning a web log came to mind in one of those ‘far out man moments’ I felt convicted to assert and commence disspensing about how, with the support of many others, was able to completely turn around my life and reconstruct my loveless, unhappy marriage into the most amazing relationship I could of ever dreamed of. Ending in the concrete foundation that my family is deep seated on, giving my children

  • Shelter
  • Stableness
  • Cheerfulness
  • Determination
  • and Emotional Strength

You see The information superhighway is teeming with information, but the fact is, most of it is not free and the quality is… well questionable to say the least. I wanted to be able to deliver reliable, upfront guidance that has been proven to work for me and could possible work for you!

Family and marriage is not a TV fairytale life is not always happily ever after and leaves no room for selfishness. The direction of marriage and family in today s world is spiraling downwards and the number one reason is boastfulness. Individuals who are not happy and feel they deserve better, need to find themselves or need someone to make them happy… need to do one thing…

Grow Up!

Marriage and family is not an individual affair it involves more the one.For any marriage or family to work it takes a sense that life is not always good, people are not always agreeable and sometimes giving something up for the sake of others is the right thing to do.

Before I go further, I need to make clear that I am by no means an end all be all expert in the field of marriage and family. I am simply someone who cares and has been through the trenches. I have been to rock bottom and know what it feels like. I am a strong believer that EVERY marriage and family can work but it takes adherence and a mindset that divorce is improper.
