This is one fabulous conference where we presenters know we make a difference in our work to strengthen marriages that strengthens families that strengthens our society. For years, I've been a part of faculty for many conferences, but Smart Marraiges is the only one I continue to participate in--pro bono--along with 200 other presenters. Why? Because I can make a difference with my work in strengthening stepfamilies with people who are truly interested in the same goal: to strengthen marriages and families from the ground up by teaching essential relationship skills. Elizabeth Einstein, MA/LMFT One of America's leaders in the field of stepfamily education
