		<description><![CDATA[Two heartrending news articles crossed my desk this morning.   Both highlight the reasons that TANF (the main federal anti-poverty program) should focus on economic assistance.  They also point to the importance of healthy relationships for all people, regardless of marital status.  If any federal money is going to pay for relationship education, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently we were tickled to discover that the Fatherhood and Marriage Leadership Institute is using the existence of our new Get Marriage Out of TANF Coalition as a threat to mobilize pro-marriage-promotion forces to defend their federal funding.
On seeing FAMLI&#8217;s dire warning, the director of a marriage counseling program sent AtMP this friendly inquiry:

		<description><![CDATA[I often check the New Old Age blog, because anecdotes suggest that unmarried people may be tapped (more than their married siblings or peers) to become caregivers for elderly parents.  Today&#8217;s  post caught my eye: families can write contracts to compensate the caretakers for lost income.  That&#8217;s a good idea for people who leave their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[from the Milwaulkee Journal-Sentinel:
&#8220;Society obviously benefits from healthy relationships. But healthy relationships are not limited to marriage,&#8221; said the Rev. Craig Schwalenberg, assistant minister at First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, which recognizes civil unions by same-sex partners.
&#8220;Attaching a stigma to those who choose not to marry or to divorce for good reason is not something [...]]]></description>
