Black Marriage Day in Long Beach, Ca

CELEBRATE THE JOY, is in support of Black Marriage Day, on March 28, 2010.

The stats on black marriage, in the words of the African American Healthy Marriage Initiative, are "crisis-level statistics." While 62 percent of adult whites and 60 percent of adult Hispanics are married, only 41 percent of adult African-Americans are.

There are 23 divorces per 1,000 black couples per year, compared to 19 for whites. The number of unmarried women having children is high for whites and Hispanics as well (25 percent and 42 percent, respectively), but astronomical for African-Americans: 69 percent.

Changing the mindset of African American couples towards marriage is very important. In order to build strong families, you need the proper tool - knowledge. Knowledge of self, your fiance and your expectations of your new life together. Not living up the statistics can be a reality when given the proper tools to do so.

We will touch on different subjects during this workshop. Lasting only 3 hours to give plenty of time for in-depth discussion on those issues that mean the most to you. Done in a Q & A format, there are no right or wrong answers.

- Relationships
- Finances
- Home
- Housekeeping

- Children & Parenting
- Social Activities
- Red Flag Warnings

Faith and Finances in the Christian Marriage

Last year when we witnessed first hand the economy decline, marriages were tested on new levels. Christian marriages were also tested and some ended in divorce because of the finances. How does a husband and wife hold on to their faith when it seems as if their finances are becoming less and less. They are praying, yet they do not see a change in their situation.

What is a husband or wife to do when one spouse is continuing to hold on to their faith, yet the other spouse’s faith has been shaken. Now not only is the marriage dealing with the financial issues but now they will be dealing with shaken faith which impacts the marriage on a different level. How does a couple hold on when it appears what they are doing is not working?

Join Dr. Taffy and Rev. Angela Chester on February 8, 2010 at 8pm EST as they discuss Faith and Finances for the beginning of the Money and Marriage Teleseminars during National Marriage Week.
