News Flash Thank you to all who have been visiting eMatrimony.org. We are sending this email to you because either you, or someone who loves you, asked us to send you updates about eMatrimony. If you have not yet visited eMatrimony.org, please do so. If you are bilingual in Spanish, be sure to click on the link Versión en Español at the top of the home page to see the wonderful work the Spanish-speaking sections are doing with eMatrimony.org/Spanish. Dear Lovers, With Spring around the corner there seems to be so much to do. Preparing for Easter, graduations, summer vacation, some will have weddings and many will have yard work. It is easy to get caught up in all that has to be done to prepare for the future and forget to celebrate today. Please take time this Lent to spend time quietly with each other and with God. Consider your blessings and thank God. After all that quiet time take just a moment to go online to convention.wwme.org and register for the National Convention to be held July 8-10 at Towson, University in Baltimore, MD. Register by March 15th for the lowest cost and the best housing choices. New articles include: - Under News/International, See Weekend Statistics From Around the World for the exciting statistics gathered of how many couples and priests made Weekends in 2002 and 2003. We will update you when the 2004 world statistics are available. - We have some powerful dialogue helps under Dialogue/Guidelines. They include Turn Dialogue Blah’s into Dialogue Aha’s, Breaking the 3-Minute Dialogue Barrier, Back to Dialogue Basics and What is the Value in Sharing Dialogue with Another Couple? - Under Family/Weekend Effect, See how the Weekend brought couples to the Church in Conversion to New Life in the Church. Then look further under Family/Seasonal Activities for A Priest’s Journey Through Lent and Easter. - Under Resources/Miscellaneous: we have couples sharing their experiences with Natural Family Planning in Family Planning vs. The Modern World, couples sharing how they use guidelines for fighting fair for their relationship in Finding Our Fighting Style. and a priest responding to why we have a priest of our Weekends in The Priesthood: A Call to Relationship. - Under Resources/Archives, we have added the four issues of Matrimony Magazine printed in 1996.
