Hi friends! This week’s column made the cover of the “Easy” section in today’s Chicago Sun-Times. I guess marriage really DOES matter! Please check it out. Also, I’ve included the original piece from the New York Times below.

When the New York Times Says Marriage Matters, That’s News!

Two Classes Divided by “I Do”

If you are a single mom or know someone who is, this is a great resource. It’s non an anti-man group of women, as single mom groups can easily become, it’s very positive and encouraging with lots of practical advice and most importantly a Christian focus. If you’ve never been a single mom, it’s tough to know what it’s like to be facing the world without a husband and emotional support along the way. It’s great to be with other women who “get it” and want to help each other through it in a way that’s edifying, not angry!

SMORE/Single Moms Overjoyed, Rejuvenated, Empowered

Here’s a podcast of today’s show and my appearance on “Don Wade and Roma” on WLS Radio in Chicago. The discussion was wide ranging, about marriage and my book “It Takes a Parent,” and I thought it was fun. Hope you agree! Thanks for stopping by. Betsy Hart

Betsy Hart and “Don Wade and Roma” Today

I will be on Chicago’s “Don Wade and Roma Show,” on WLS, AM 890, Thursday morning at 7:35 talking about my book, “From The Hart.” I hope you will tune in!

Friends, writer Marybeth Hicks has given me a very kind write-up for the print version of “From The Hart,” and she’s linked it to a book I really like, “The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After” – how about buying both if you haven’t yet? Just click the link at the top of the page here! Just think of all those summer brides who could benefit from these books!

Thanks for stopping by – Betsy

From The Hart and Jane Austen Too!
