Well, maybe you think that about your spouse but, what does that have to do with good parenting? Today, Tuesday, June 19, we're talking about balancing parenting with marriage. My guest says that parents today seem more devoted to their kids than to their marriage. What do you say?

How do you develop a strong, happy marriage AND strong, happy kids? Is there dysfunction in your marriage that affects your children? Call in and share, ask a question, or make a comment 1-877-864-4869 anytime between 10-11 am (EST).

Elaine W. Miller, author, mom, grandmom, and pastor's wife, will share fascinating stories and powerful examples to help parents keep a marriage strong amid the busy, chaotic, stressful childrearing years. Don't become a divorce statistic . . . or make your child one. Get empowerment and encouragement now.

Today, June 12, 10:00am EST, we're going to pose the question, "Does our education system prepare our children for life?"  Even though it's not totally up to the schools ~ parents are the first & most influential "teachers,"~ what DO we need to teach kids if they're to be successful in life?

My special guest is David Machin of www.humanbean.com, a fabulous website and service that helps you prepare your children for life success with great books, games, and other resources. Call HumanBean your bestie in parenting services because it will introduce these qualities, attitudes, and behaviors directly to your children via entertaining stories and interactive game (something they're already comfortable with and probably using).

To participate in our discussion or ask David questions, call our toll free studio line 877-864-4869 anytime during the show 10-11 am (EST).
