Victims’ Advocates Offer 7 Tips that Could Save Your Family and Your Life

Victims’ Advocates Offer 7 Tips that Could Save Your Family and Your Life












(PRWEB) December 21, 2007

Kim & Steve Cooper, ”ex – Domestic Abuse Couple Gone Public,” authorities, radio chat hosts and authors of ”Back from the Looking Glass: Living with the Disorder that Causes Emotional and Domestic Abuse,” recently published an online advice guide.

In the past Kim Cooper was helped by an experienced police officer, who taught her that early intervention could change her husband’s behavior and stop the fights.

“He saved our marriage,” said Kim Cooper. “Much of the advice online is dangerous. Telling a partner to ‘just leave’ shifts responsibility onto the victim, can escalate the violence and deter a partner from seeking help,” said Cooper.

The couple has these important tips for anyone in a domestically violent relationship:

1. Do not isolate yourself – get out and meet people. Let church and community leaders including the D.V. officer at your local police station know that you are having troubles.

2. Get help before you are ready to leave or get divorced. Early intervention can save your marriage.

3. If you decide to leave, get good advice, support and protection first. More partners are injured or killed during the two months after leaving than any other time.

4. Marriage counseling is not advised for couples with D.V. issues. Intervention is much more important and beneficial.

5. Do not wait until you are upset or in danger to talk to the police. Ask to see your local D.V. officer when you are calm and clear headed. Get advice first on what help to ask for and at home call the police as soon as the intimidation begins.

6. Give time and attention to your kids and don’t ask them to take sides – forgetting about your troubles and focusing instead on giving interest and attention to your children will help bring you all closer.

7. Do not think that things will get better by themselves, thinking that you can say or do something different ‘next time’ doesn’t work. You need to take actions for things to improve.

“The heart of our message is that early intervention can save marriages,” said Steve Cooper. “I am an ex-perpetrator who has changed my behavior and worked things through with my partner. I decided to face the shame of going public to help others. I am so glad to still have my family, we are proof that there is a much better way.”

The advice in the Cooper’s guide will also help victims of emotional abuse. “Emotional abuse, untreated deteriorates over the years into violence,” says Kim. “Get help early.”

The couple recently co-authored ”Back from the Looking Glass – Living with the Disorder that Causes Emotional and Domestic Abuse.” Available online, the book offers support to anyone currently trapped in a violent relationship. Kim and Steve’s Guide is available at http://www.stopthefights.com . While there, follow the subscribe link to get the couple’s weekly radio program. “Our radio show offers ongoing support,” says Steve.

Kim & Steve have a media Room with pictures, other releases and advice to professionals at http://www.clergyanddomesticviolence.com/ .

Award-Winning Where Did My Wife Go? Helps Men Save Their Marriages and Relationships In Spite Of Menopause, Mid-Life Crises and Empty Nest Syndrome

Author Jim Vigue’s mailbox is regularly stuffed with thank-you messages from both men and women because his new book is helping marriages across the nation by offering practical ways to navigate the choppy waters of women’s midlife transitions.

Vigue was recently named a medal winner of an IPPY Award from the Independent Publisher Book Awards for exhibiting the courage, innovation, and creativity to bring about change. A total of 4,090 entries were submitted throughout the United States, Canada and 12 English-speaking countries overseas. The Awards Committee cited Vigue’s book as a superb example of someone’s tackling an important subject that most authors would avoid.

“This award is very well deserved as this book is a remarkably sensitive explanation of this incredibly complex, but common and emotionally dangerous, life transition that menopause and midlife crises represent,” said Lars Boman, MD, Diplomat of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

Author Named Finalist Along With Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield For Book Award

Next Generation Indie Book Awards (Canada) named Jim Vigue a finalist along with 150-million-plus booksellers and mega-authors Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield. (Chicken Soup for the Soul Series)

“It is gratifying that my book is being mentioned in the same breath as Chicken Soup for the Soul,” said Vigue. “We are getting great testimonials from readers who have been helped by the book but this industry recognition is also very encouraging.”

Vigue has a Master’s Degree in leadership from Duquesne University and an MBA from the University of Dallas. He is CEO of the Hamilton Foundation, a 20-year-old 501C3 nonprofit organization. The foundation’s website is http://www.menonpause.org.

Bay Area Start-up Launches Website to Help Couples Create Wedding Budget and Savings Plan for their Dream Wedding

Bay Area Start-up Launches Website to Help Couples Create Wedding Budget and Savings Plan for their Dream Wedding











Create your wedding budget and a financial plan.


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 07, 2011

Today, myTafi.com announced the release of Wedding Wallet, the first financial planning tool targeted specifically for couples to help with their wedding planning.

With the average cost of an American wedding at about $ 30,000 (source: Bridal Association of America), the cost of a wedding is the biggest one time expenditure most people make in their lives. In a survey conducted by myTafi.com, 75% of respondents felt a compelling need for financial planning to save for their wedding. This reflected both an increased awareness for financial planning during an economic downturn and a heightened awareness around the rising cost of weddings.

There are many resources available that help couples organize their dream wedding, myTafi’s Wedding Wallet will provide wedding budgeting and financial planning help so a dream wedding does not turn into a financial nightmare.

Wedding Wallet assesses the couple’s current and future financial health by automatically pulling the data from their financial institutions and analyzes the affordability of their wedding expenses. It guides couples to create a wedding budget and takes them through the financial planning process. This process helps them adjust their household budget and other financial goals so they can save enough for their wedding. Wedding Wallet also identifies financing options that are within the couples’ means. It lets couples see the overall impact of the wedding on their financial future and provides them the guidance to make a post marriage plan that can bring their financial goals on track.

ABOUT myTafi.com

myTafi.com is a bay area start-up. Its mission is to use innovative technological solutions to help individuals make financial decisions which lead to prosperous lives. Until mytafi.com, personal financial management applications focused only on the bank accounts. While this makes for good bookkeeping and expense tracking, it reveals very little about overall financial health. That’s why myTAFI focused on flow of money, analyzing from a personal profit and loss standpoint leading to customized financial advice that accommodates priorities, tax implications and anticipated changes in life such as loss of income, having a baby and purchasing a home.

Popular New Book ?The Spiritual Fragrance of Woman? Finds Success

Popular New Book “The Spiritual Fragrance of Woman” Finds Success











Fairfield, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2007

Since its release in late January, “The Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman –- the Fragrance that Attracts the Right Man,” has sold out at every speaking engagement that author and pastor Jerone Davison — a former Oakland Raider — has preached.

This includes the book-release service, held in Vallejo, Calif., in early February 2007. At its release, the publication sold more than 2,000 copies in two nights, and has been going strong ever since. According to Pastor Jerone, the work’s popularity is being compared to the success of Bishop T.D. Jakes’ book, “Woman Thou Art Loosed.”

When asked what prompted him to write the book, Pastor Jerone had much to say.

“I am simply a leader who loves the people in the church that I serve, and pray that their hearts’ desires will be met,” he said. “Like many pastors, I have a passion in my heart about the futures of the members of my church. Especially single women who are trusting God for husbands — and I pray to see them as happily married as I am.”

Pastor Jerone said single women can face many challenges when it comes to finding a partner.

“The question that we should ask is why aren’t our daughters getting married? Why aren’t the men — who attend church and get saved — choosing to marry the single, saved women in the church? Are the women doing something wrong? I don’t think so,” he said. “Are all of our men going gay, DL, ‘Thug Life’ or ‘Crazy Coo Co Style?’ I pray not. This book gives solid biblical answers to those questions.”

The book’s popularity is fueled by its new relationship concept, and its real, down-to-earth topics. It also contains ‘Fragrance Tests’ where women can rate their spiritual fragrance, a complete index and ‘Fatherly Advice.’

Testimonies of how the book is encouraging the faith of many single woman, men — and even married couples — are numerous, said Pastor Jerone. These readers are strengthening their spiritual fragrance, thanks to tips from the book. Here’s a quote from a reader named Kris.

“I have read a million self-help books. Some help; others were just a repeat of what I already knew. However, your book cut to the core! Everything you stated hit home,” Kris said. “I have been kept by God for years now, and still no prospect. I am in my 40s, fine, enjoy working out and raising a young man alone. I have cried many-a-night, Lord please help.”

Davison said that one of the reasons why he feels men don’t marry is because most have grown up in single-parent, illegitimate homes or bad-marriage homes.

“Most have never seen a good marriage first hand — leaving no desire for marriage. Marriage for most of today’s men is nowhere on the list of life’s priorities,” he said.

“This is a major issue and is growing uglier by the generation — which is why the women in our churches must be more demanding of a marital commitment from their boyfriends before sex,” Davison said. “Challenge them to be responsible men by making them wait and make a decision. Premarital sex changes everything — it changes his feelings about the woman, which is why most of the time it’s a hit-and-quit situation.”

Secondly, most of today’s men don’t understand the spiritual or natural significance of marriage and the impact it has on our children thinking that marriage is only a piece of paper, he said.

“This is where the church comes in. We’ve got to preach about marriage. After all, car registration is paper, a driver’s license is paper covered by plastic, a receipt is paper, etc,” Pastor Jerone said. “Without most of these, you would be considered illegitimate — just as illegitimate as shacking up and pretending to be married.”

Lastly, there is the ‘Fear Factor,’ said Pastor Jerone.

“Men have a fear of losing sexual excitement, thinking the more the merrier; they fear that one woman can’t satisfy,” he said. “Marriage is a true gift from God, and it’s a shame to see it go to waste.”

“The Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman — the Fragrance that Attracts the Right Man,” can be purchased at http://www.amazon.com.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 1, 2008

The reality of extramarital affairs is becoming increasingly widespread with the increase of political figures, religious leaders, and celebrities grappling with infidelity. Research suggests that 90% of Americans disapprove of extramarital sex, but behind each statistic lies a story of betrayal and questions about whether couples should or should not try to rebuild the relationship. Dr. Jim Walkup, licensed marriage and family therapist from New York State, believes extramarital affairs, like the highly publicized affairs of today, do not necessarily signal the end of a relationship, and offers advice to struggling couples at Dr-Jim.com.

“In my work with individuals, I am committed to helping them become all they want to be,” says Walkup. Dr. Walkup believes that seeking individual psychotherapy is not a sign of weakness, but in fact, one of the most intelligent, productive things a person can do for him or herself. For these individuals, Dr-Jim.com has articles that explore individual psychotherapy, meditation, journaling and soul work, overcoming sexual abuse, dreams, career issues, stepfamily issues, individual online marriage counseling, depression, stress and anxiety, addiction, attention deficit disorder, even resources for clergy.
