Resources for Better Relationships

Fortunately, we live in the age of computers and with that capability come innumerable resources. When I was newly married and a new parent, I had to run to the library for any information I needed to address problems and concerns. My arms would be burdened carrying books on top of books. Ditto when I was in college and grad school. Now, our fingertips can glide over the computer keys and with the help of Google (bless it), we can find all kinds of articles and information on just about any subject you can think of.


Granted we cannot and should not trust everything and anything we read on the internet, but we can from reliable sources, of which there are many. And, we can access this material in privacy, day or night. Furthermore, one can access not only educational resources, but professional ones as well. Therefore, it is not prudent or necessary to feel as though you have to face issues entirely on your own nor do you have to tell your relatives or friends everything that you are feeling. You can and should find professionals to help you in crisis and hopefully, long before.
Oftentimes, the remedies to problems are simple steps but one just needs the guidance and confidence to take those steps. If you are having marriage/relationship problems, there are so many courses and books available to help.

There are also many wonderful websites where you can access information. Below are some I have use frequently and have found them extremely beneficial. I hope you will check them out for yourself. The first one is not only a website full of information, but offers a wonderful yearly Conference that covers just about anything in marriage or relationships that you could ever want to know and it is for professionals and laypersons alike.
