We Have to Start With the Kids - available on DVD, CD, MP3
Kay Reed
Helping youth develop the skills and attitudes necessary for healthy, happy
marriages is critical if we are truly going to change the culture. Plus, in addition
to increased confidence that they know why and how to get and stay married, the
marriage ed programs give side benefits including reduced verbal and physical aggression,
improved communication with teachers, peers, parents and future employers.
Bringing programs to your community is no longer an option, it's, as the kids would say,
a "no brainer". Learn how easy it is!

Message to Our Daughters
Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, PhD
Today’s young women are better educated than any previous generation
but are strangely misinformed about marriage. The good news is the
substantial body of new social scientific evidence on the “do’s” and
“don’ts” of mate selection and marriage. The even better news is that we
have every reason to believe we can all play a part in helping the next
generations of young women become as successful in marriage as they
are in their school and work lives.
Message to Our Sons
Rozario Slack, DMin
Today's young men need their fathers and their elders to step up to the plate
and tell them the truth. They need their fathers and elders to stop standing
silently by and letting them continue to make critical mistakes. Men must tell
their sons, nephews, friends, and brothers that it takes a real man to create a
high-quality, life-long marriage and family. That there is no greater or more
manly accomplishment. Old men must teach young men that marriage is the glue,
the crucial factor if we are to save the village. This is what men must do.
