When we run across a great newsletter, we love to share it with the world. Acclaimed Marriage Celebration-ists Jay and Laura Laffoon (who came to town for an Ultimate Date Night back in September 2011) make the case that “Men Feel More Deeply, Women Feel All the Time” in their April 2012 Newsletter. Enjoy!
Marriage is a major commitment, and it can be completely miserable if not done well. When done well, however, it’s your most rewarding relationship in the world. It’s pretty important, then, to understand what it means to “do it well.” It’s not an ever-smiling, happy-go-lucky, “all you need is love” way of living. That’s plastic.

At Just the Facts, our mission is to stress the importance of healthy marriages and the positive impact intact families have on children. Ultimately, our goal is to break the vicious cycles of poverty and abuse for Alabama’s children.
We are excited to announce the development of a new teen leadership program. This new program will build on the success of their ongoing teen relationship workshops that have reached over 12,000 teens throughout Alabama since 2006. Just the Facts believes that having positive teen role models in the community will reinforce the skills taught in their workshops.
