Marriage Week UK is taking place from 8 to 14 February. To mark the occasion, we’re offering you Rob Parsons’ The Sixty Minute Marriage book at the special price of just £5.99 – so you save £2 off the retail price.

Here are some of the topics you’ll read about:

• Are affairs good for a marriage?

• How a divorce will affect your children

... and much more

Offer ends on 28 February 2010.

1. Forget the “big talk”.
   A better way is “little by little”. It could be a discussion sparked by something that’s happened to a friend, a piece of television news or even the soaps! One of the most effective pieces of education on sex I have ever seen occurred during a showing of ‘Friends’. Rachel tells Ross she is pregnant; he is utterly shocked. In fact he is so shocked he says nothing for almost thirty seconds. Then he blurts out, “But we used a condom!” Rachel explains that condoms don’t always work. Ross looks even more shocked and screams out, “They should say that on the box!”

Care for the Family is running a marriage event at The Gate, Cardiff on Thursday 11 February.

The new event is called ‘Marriage Unlocked – keys to a healthy relationship’. It’s for people whose marriages are good, and those going through a difficult time.

Hosted by Rob and Dianne Parsons, and presented by Katharine Hill and her husband, Richard, here’s a taster of the evening:

You'll read real-life stories, down-to-earth insights and practical tips to support you in your family life.
