THAT’S FOR THE BIRDS
Yes, and some of what’s good for the birds is good for people, too. The miracles we see everyday in nature, if we take the time to look at them, are not by accident. God designed them that way – like the birds who know when to take flight for warmer climes and when to go back to home base. What’s more they’ll travel thousands of miles to the very same place as the year before in order to prepare for the current crop of hatchlings
I was disappointed this year because the glorious yellow and orange orioles that usually come to sip at our feeders, didn’t show. Probably it’s because, instead of keeping the backyard inviting for wildlife, we’ve been so concerned about the divorce rate that George, Vance, Julie and I dove into getting our material out to a wider audience so anyone can access it. After all, the concepts in it have saved hundreds of thousands of marriages; and here, we were taking a break! No more. Our material is needed – desperately. We have used the basis of these concepts in our seminars and marriage counseling of hurting husbands and wives…and yes, Singles, too. Read the rest of this entry »

DIVORCE – MARRIAGE – DIVORCE – MARRIAGE…
Some people feel that if they never live with someone outside of marriage, it’s okay to divorce if their expectations aren’t met and then get married to someone else. Why bother to save a marriage if the going gets hard and, heaven forbid, if I can’t have things my own way? If the second marriage is a bummer, then how about a third – and then a fourth and so on? It’s kind of like looking for the Fountain of Youth to search for lasting happiness in that way. It isn’t going to be there.
Certain celebrities are notorious because they’ve been married numerous times – like Elizabeth Taylor, a star of the past who was one of the most beautiful women of her time and played in many notable movies. Did she even try to save any of her marriages, even those through whom she had children? Or, if she tried, did her spouses?
We’ll give her this one: She always married her interests, rather than just living with them. Of course, that sometimes meant she had to snatch them away from their wives. At least that was true in at least one case when she lured singer Eddie Fisher away from his then wife, Debbie Reynolds, another actress.
Taylor either has kept other liaisons secret or she’s changed her thinking where marriage is concerned. She reportedly has been living with a guy for a long time at the time of this writing but now, supposedly, is thinking she’ll take her 8th leap into matrimony.
Then there is the mixing up of marriage and lovers, all at the same time. Larry King, for instance. Still married to Shawn Southwick in his 8th marriage, senior Larry supposedly has been having an affair with his sister-in-law, Shannon Engemann, for the past five years.
