One of the simplest ways to cement your family bond is to actively tend to your marriage, and while many people are able to successfully balance marriage, family, work and other interests and activities, many others struggle with it.
In fact, families who are actively parenting may find it especially difficult.
St. Louis area families are lucky in that we have several resources at our disposal to help us to learn to (or remember to) focus on our marriages, as well as learning to make our families stronger.
The Family Resource Center, for example, offers free counseling to families who need it.
The St. Louis Healthy Marriage Coalition is another great resource for St. Louis Families. It's  non-profit agency which serves the greater St. Louis community.
This group promotes healthy marriages through effective communication and relationship skills, as well as the idea that, ideally, a healthy family would have an active mother and father involved.
The St. Louis Healthy Marriage Coalition sponsors a wide variety of marriage and family related workshops and activities, and also offers a plethora of free resources and information on the website. You can also find an extensive list of other marriage and family related resource links there.
Want to help other families to stay strong?  You can donate to the St. Louis Healthy Marriage Coalition's cause, or attend The Family Resource Center's Ready, Set, Go 5K Race on Saturday, May 16 at Tower Grove Park in St. Louis.
