Video of the Month: September
Now on YouTube! 
Watch on YouTube NIM is pleased to offer you an opportunity to find answers to some very difficult questions, many of which are heard through our Intensive Programs. This month's video is about telling your spouse if you have had an affair.
Labor Day Thoughts
By Dr. Bob Burbee, Intensive Marriage Counselor
Do you ever hear statements like this from your spouse on Monday morning?
"Oh Lord help me, it can't already be Monday again?"
"Someday I'll get some rest, I hope."
"Just 22 years, 4 months and 3 days till retirement. Will I ever make it?"
The first Monday in September is observed as Labor Day. This is the last long weekend of summer and the signal of school beginning for many across our country.
Finding Ever After
Finding Ever After, by Dr. Robert Paul, Co-President of the National Instiute of Marriage offers couples a new way to look at communication and offers new insight on how to care for your marriage. In one chapter, Dr. Paul suggests that couples need to look at the way they communicate with their spouse in two forms: "Work Talk" and "Heart Talk". "Work Talk" can be defined as normal everyday conversation, for instance, who's picking the kids up from school today? "Heart Talk" on the other hand can be defined as communicating with your spouse about matters of the heart, for instance, when one spouse feels like he/she isn't being appreciated or understood. By making a conscious effort to look at the way you communicate with your spouse, Dr. Paul believes you can approach more intimate conversations with greater care.
