It’s nice to meet you
Hi! My name is Sarah; I’m glad you’ve found my public corner of the Web. I hope you’ll make yourself comfortable and stay awhile.
Throughout history, cultures have looked to marriage and family life as a cornerstone of society. In America, many people feel marriage is “failing” or “declining” based on statistics we read in newspapers and see on television. Before we panic, I think it’s important to dig deeper and critically think about the information we receive.
I started this blog to focus on marriage - as it is, could be and should be. I’ll discuss everything from how to handle unruly in-laws to California’s Prop-8. I’ll present both sides of controversial topics to the best of my ability. All I ask is you keep an open mind.
You might be thinking, “Who is Sarah and what makes her an authority on marriage?”
I am a professional journalist, living in southwest Ohio. I’m also a married person; my husband and I wed in April 2008. I have a 13-year-old step-son who lives in Illinois. I think marriage is important - not simply in a religious sense. Marriage is a vital component of civilization. I’m a liberal Christian (Yes, Virginia - much like Santa Claus, there are liberal Christians); however, this blog won’t be completely filled with religious-based views. I enjoy writing with humor (note the Christmas song reference) and try to keep my writing lite - even if the subject is heavy.
I look forward to starting the discussion on all things marriage. I hope you’ll join me regularly, leave comments to broaden my experience, and perhaps learn something along the way.
