This July, spend 30 Hot Summer Nights with us as we bring you a different article each day focused on real-life marriages, passion, love, and faith. Many thanks to Jen Frost at the Church of St. Thomas More in Oceanside, California, for bringing me together with an awesome group of cross-country guest bloggers to share our special spin on married love.

Check out HRC’s new Download Center & Resource Store
Healthy Relationships California (HRC) is excited to announce a new, online resource for the Relationship and Marriage Education (RME) community.
Over the last five years, HRC has developed promotional materials for various RME curricula (in English and Spanish), created a series of powerful and attractive, research-based publications, and produced a number of informative handouts that make a convincing case for RME.
Because we know these resources will be of value to others around the country, we have now made it possible for everyone to download more than 100 of these promotionals, booklets and other publications for free, or order hard copies at cost, through HRC’s Download Center and Resource Store.
If you have a recommended place please let me know by Wednesday…this blog will end on July 4!

In the wake of the supreme court decisions of this week, I would like to return to a question I have Asked before: Are we coming to a point where we should consider dropping our use of the word “marriage?”
