For any Canadian blog followers and FB fans, please tune in to your local CBC radio station tomorrow a.m. to hear me talk about the state of marriage in 2010, which will be running on numerous CBC morning shows nationally ! And call your local CBC station if you&#8217;d like them to air the interview.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be discussing how too often we fail to understand that real marriages between real people are tied to Marriage the social institution. When it becomes less relevant and necessary, we need extra help.</p>
<p>Read the article <a href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/stepmonster/201002/love-stories-is-marriage-necessary">&#8220;Is Marriage Necessary?&#8221;</a> here.</p>
