Sharing their lives: women, marital trends and education
A new Statistics Canada study has been released. There are a lot of interesting figures found in this study.
The one number that stood out was that in 1981 for every 100 women aged 25 to 49 with a university degree there was 157 men with the same amount of education. In 2006, for every 100 women aged 25 to 49 with a university degree there was 84 men with the same amount of education. Women are truly taking advantage of furthering their education. Awesome!
Also another number that was interesting to note. In 1981, of woman in a marriage, a woman was more likely to be married if she did not have a university of degree. However, in 2006 this had flipped. A woman is more likely to be married if she has a university degree. Women in common-law relationships were more likely to have a university degrees in 1981, but not in 2006. It again flipped. A women in a common-law relationship now is most likely with-out a degree.

The Struggle Between Religious Beliefs and Treating GLBT Clients
First, just for clarification. I don't mean "treating" as in "curing" GLBT. Treating in this title means working with a GLBT client.
This struggle, battle, and war, has gone on for years now, and this article helps show the debate that has been going on recently. I love the conclusion paragraph, and I take that stance.
"[Your] never... required to change [your] religious beliefs.... [Your] inability to separate [your] personal beliefs in a judgement-free zone of a professional counsellor [is the concern.]"
This, I believe, not just only applies to GLBT clients, but also divorcing clients, aboriginal clients, promiscuous clients, female clients, male clients, religious clients, abused clients, and so on.

Marriage & Divorce in the USA
This is a very interactive site about Marriage & Divorce in the USA. I realize I am Canadian, and 4/5th's of visitors are from Canada. But this is just too interesting to pass up. Canada does tend to sync up fairly well with American statistics in terms of Marriage & Divorce.

Getting out of and Avoiding Debt
Did you know the average Canadian has five credit cards? This includes the traditional credit cards and also cards like HBC, Best Buy, Citi Financial and so on. How many do you have?
Credit cards have helped contribute to the ‘now’ environment of our society. Drive throughs, microwave meals and instant downloads. On average, we spend more than we earn. Want more than we need. It’s no surprise pay-day loans have become so popular, but also at the same time, so have consolidation loans and credit counsellors.

Keeping Your Children Safe From Pornography
 |
| Picture from FreeDigitalPhotos.Net |
Pornography Warning Label: “Contents highly addictive. Extremely corrosive to the soul materials enclosed. Be prepared to have your mind twisted, your views of life ravaged, and your spirit shrunk… Be prepared that after an initial rush, you will experience feelings of depression, loneliness, despair and guilt. However, with repeated exposures over time, you can numb those feelings – and enter into almost total amnesia about who you really are and about the truth it self.” – Wendy Watson.
Pornography is the second most searched topic on the internet, with about 68 Million searches per day. One in every five men view it at least every other day, and one in two view it weekly. This helps the industry earn $100 Billion every year.
Chances are your son (more likely than your daughter) has been exposed to pornography, or will be exposed to it. By the time of college, nine out of ten males have viewed pornography.
