I think it is amazing that you can find almost anything you want online, including relationship information. Naturally I have looked at what others offer to those who are in need of help. In some cases I see slightly modified, basic western psychology. Other sites offer a fresh and practical approach. Naturally, I believe fully in what I offer people on my site LessonsForAHappyMarriage.com. I think people want to know the truth. And the flood of information that comes over the Internet helps people make up their own minds as to what is true for them. I definitely believe most people offering advice on line are sincere, but I have also seen people use pop psychology and slick phrases to entice people to use their ineffective "products".
Our world is evolving very quickly. In another generation or two, all of the new stuff that you find on the Internet will be common knowledge; that is my hope. It is my dream that the divorce rate will go back to the 2 or 3% that makes sense. It is my dream that the relationship information I share online will be old hat and taught in schools right from first grade before too long. But for now the Internet is 'school' for all of us. As individuals we have to take responsibility for separating truth from fiction. It's up to us to compare notes, try new things and see what works for us; and then share what we know with others.
I find that the comments section does a great service to the community. By seeing the experience of other people who are not trying to sell us, we are able to learn more about fulfilling our needs. Relationship information online is a great idea. And always remember to tell your spouse or your significant other, "I love you."
