It was news to me that forty percent of crops are lost to pests. That is slightly better than the odds for marriage. There is an organization called
Plantwise that offers advice and support to rural farmers where they live. People bring their spotty tomatoes and yellowed cucumbers to the village where tables are set up with books and experienced growers ready to look for solutions. The video I watched said that even a one percent improvement in production could feed millions of hungry people. That is worth learning about.
This February 15th there will be a Day for Marriage. People who care about thriving relationships will gather in eastern Pennsylvania to talk about what works. There will be a library for borrowing or buying books, and free handouts to beef up your knowledge base. Learning from your own mistakes has its limits.
There will be couples who still remember how to have fun ready to engage others in ways to play and laugh. People learn by watching too. The event is for anyone who wants to invest a day in committed relationships, before or after they begin.
