This week we're exploring the idea that if you water and care for your lawn, you'll find that the grass is greener right where you are. In essence, if you tenderly care for your marriage and water it with the Word it will grow and thrive. The statistics of marriage that were mentioned can be found below 67% or 2/3 of second marriages end in divorce in comparison to 50% of traditional marriages. For third marriages that statistic of divorce is 74% or around 3/4! The Marriage Study mentioned was a 2002 study by the Institute for American Values by Linda J. Waite, Don Browning, William J. Doherty, Maggie Gallagher, Ye Luo, and Scott M. Stanley. A part of the study found that two out of three unhappily married adults who avoided divorce or separation ended up happily married five years later.

Clients often seek therapists' input for dealing with ethical dilemmas in their lives, but there is little guidance for therapists in how to do this. The Ethical Lives of Clients: Transcending Self-Interest in Psychotherapy (APA, 2021) shows therapists how to serve as ethical consultants who help clients balance their personal needs with their sense of responsibility to others. Dr. Bill Doherty blends decades of clinical experience with personal and philosophical insights to frame the skills and knowledge therapists need to act as ethical guides while respecting client autonomy. He calls for a shift from psychotherapy's individualistic focus towards a more relational one that includes ethical connections to others. Doherty presents the LEAP‑C model, a framework for ethical consulting that utilizes the traditional therapeutic skills of listening, exploring, affirming, and offering perspective, while also challenging clients to recognize ethical issues they don't perceive. Using detailed case examples, Doherty provides a roadmap for addressing common client dilemmas, such as keeping and ending commitments, having affairs, lying, and deceiving, and causing psychological or physical harm to others. He also provides guidelines for citizen therapists to lend their expertise to help solve larger societal concerns, such as political polarization and police–community relations. Karyne Messina is a licensed psychologist and psychoanalyst at the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis and am on the medical staff of Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. She is the author of Resurgence of Populism: A Psychoanalytic Study of Projective Identification, Blame Shifting and the Corruption of Democracy (Routledge, 2022). Learn more about your ad choices.

En ella ustedes brillan como estrellas en el firmamento», Filipenses 2: 14-15, NVINO HACE MUCHO LEÍ ACERCA DE LAS CAUSAS que propiciaron la caída del Imperio romano. De verdad que me parecia estar leyendo el periodico de hoy. Según escribió Edward Gibbon, en su monumental obra History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Historia de la decadencia y caída del Imperio romano), los cinco factores más importantes fueron: el colapso de la institución familiar; la pérdida del sentido de la responsabilidad individual; el aumento excesivo de los impuestos y del control gubernamental; la excesiva búsqueda de placeres hedonistas, violentos e inmorales; y la decadencia de la religion*¡Qué interesante! El imperio más poderoso del mundo antiguo cayó, no por el poder de los ejércitos invasores, sino por la pérdida de sus valores morales y religiosos. ¡Vaya desafío para nosotros hoy! ¿Cómo criaremos a nuestros hijos en una cultura como la nuestra, que a lo malo le llama bueno, ya lo bueno le llama malo?Dios está buscando hoy hombres y mujeres que «hayan llegado al reino en una hora como esta». Hombres y mujeres que se atrevan a salirle al paso a la ola de ataques que amenazan con destruir a nuestras familias. La pregunta es cómo lo haremos.Lo haremos viajando no con la corriente, sino contra ella. Este hecho lo ilustra muy bien el doctor William J. Doherty por medio de la analogía del Río Misisipi. Dice el doctor Doherty que si tú te sientas en una canoa en algún punto del curso superior del Misisipi-por ejemplo, en Saint Paul, Minnesota- y no haces nada para mantenerte en ese punto, gradualmente viajarás rumbo al sur hasta finalmente llegar a Nueva Orleans. «Si quieres moverte hacia el norte, o incluso permanecer en Saint Paul —escribe Doherty, debes remar duro y tener un plan». **¡Qué manera tan gráfica de ilustrar una gran verdad! Formar un hogar hoy sin «remar duro», y sin contar con un plan, equivale sencillamente a «viajar rumbo al sur»; es decir, hacia la pérdida de valores y de significado.¿Y qué significa «remar duro»? Significa que lucharemos para que nada nos impida dar a Dios el lugar central en nuestros hogares. Significa, también, que levantaremos una muralla que mantengamos fuera de nuestros hogares los valores de una sociedad secular que nos quiera vender la idea de que es posible la felicidad sin Dios. Significativo, como lo dice nuestro texto para hoy, que nos atreveremos a brillar «como estrellas en el firmamento» en medio de una generación torcida y depravada. Hoy quiero ser, Señor, una de esas estrellas que brillan para ti, comenzando en mi propio hogar.*Citado por Stephen Covey, Los 7 Hábitos de las Familias Altamente Efectivas, Golden Books, 1997, p. 133. **William J. Doherty, La Familia Intencional, Quill, 2002, p. 7.

Imagine this scenario: Two women from Ohio are sitting together at a table. One voted for Donald Trump, the other for Hillary Clinton. They're talking politics to each other. And actually listening. This is the premise of a social experiment called "Better Angels." The project is working to rebuild civil dialogue in America after the election, with hopes of getting the country to move beyond polarization and stereotypes. New report from #BetterAngels: "Who We Are: A Message from Trump and Clinton Supporters from Southwest Ohio" https://t.co/m3eW0h5rMV — Better Angels (@iavbetterangels) February 17, 2017 On this episode of Indivisible, host Kerri Miller talks with two women who took part in the experiment. We'll also hear from University of Minnesota professor Dr. William J. Doherty, the professor who facilitated the project, about what it takes to have a productive dialogue in a time of deep division. Is it enough to tolerate different points of view? Or does a vibrant democracy require us to really listen and respect what we're hearing? We also follow up on the news of Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusing himself from any investigations into the Trump campaign amid accusations of his own pre-election discussions with Russia. Kerri interviews Democratic Senator Al Franken -- one of the first politicians to criticize Mr. Sessions’ activities. Here are some tweets from this episode: Indivisible Week 6: Can We Reunite America?
