Some �experts� say the secret to a good marriage is to never go to bed angry. Others say the secret hinges upon the man knowing his wife is always right. Regardless of what self-proclaimed know-it-alls think works best, couples in Sherwood Park will have a chance to get some marriage tips from bona-fide experts this month. A variety of speakers will be presenting at an upcoming marriage and relationships conference at a local church on April 26. Making Good Marriages Great will be presented by the National Association of Marriage Enhancement Canada (NAME) through satellite at The Park Pentecostal Church from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The conference will feature well-known Christian speakers such as Gary Smalley, Erwin and Kim McManus, Les Parrott and Henry Cloud. Sheri Dombroski, who is a volunteer with the marriage and family ministries at The Park and a volunteer with NAME, said the conference is a great opportunity for people from the community to gain insight about relationships they have currently, or will have in the future.



Professor conducts study on marriage

Couples communicate more positively when wives are more attractive than their husbands, according to a study by a UT researcher.  UT assistant professor of psychology Jim McNulty and colleagues Ben Karney of the University of California at Los Angeles, and Lisa Neff of the University of Toledo conducted the study, which was published in the Journal of Family Psychology in February. I think that, because physical attractiveness is more important to men, men who have wives who are more attractive than themselves work extra hard to maintain the relationship,� McNulty said. �One way to work at a relationship is to support the partner when that partner is in need. In this study, we found that both husbands behaved more positively when wives were more attractive than their husbands, possibly because they were working harder to maintain the relationship, and that more attractive wives responded to such positive behavior with their own positive behavior.
