Pocketbooks aren’t the only things suffering in this economic downturn. All too many marriages are not weatherproofed for the financial storm that has hit so many families. Money issues are among the top causes for divorce and serious marriage troubles, and one organization is looking to do something about it.
FamilyLife, the non-profit worldwide leader in marriage conferences, will offer free admission to its Weekend to Remember marriage conference in Washington D.C. (and three other markets) to couples most affected by the downturn. Couples who have faced the loss of one or both jobs in the past six months will be able to register for the event, to be held Valentines Day weekend, for free by calling 1-800-FLTODAY.
FamilyLife’s investment in families that have been impacted by downsizing amid the crumbling economy will prove critical: financial problems are among the most frequently-cited causes of divorce. Interestingly, couples in conflict are delaying divorces due to economic hardships and their inability to afford the legal fees. Others are postponing weddings and living together because they cannot afford to host the big event. FamilyLife hopes to reach those couples specifically, and to offer hope and provide the tools necessary to survive financial and relational crises as a team.
