Smart Spouse Publishers is pleased to announce a new product that makes it easier for parents to expand their teens’ dating knowledge, and to help them learn how to foresee and manage the risks in teen dating. It’s no secret that teenagers today are under intense peer pressure to be dating or in a love relationship. Unfortunately, many have not been well guided, and some are already heartbroken, been pressured into sex, and stuck in abusive relationships. The results indicate that there is an increase in teen pregnancies, teen abortions, STD infection rates, teens running away from home, increase in alcohol and drug abuse, and the jealous teens that put up serious gun fights rather than lose a date.
“Every parent knows that dating is an important first step in shaping one’s quality of life, but because of an old tradition, many parents will hesitate or never teach their children about dating and love relationships. Parents would rather do everything else for their teen sons and daughters but not talk about dating. It is hard to believe. Teen dating is not going to stop. So, rather than shy away from this topic to talk only about their teens’ books and talents, it may be better for parents to open up and teach their teens how to make the right dating decisions”, says Alex Mugume.
“No matter what your opinion is, times have changed and so must we. After all, we know much more about dating than the teens, so why shouldn’t we teach them what we know? Why should we simply wait for the teens to figure out these complex dating puzzles and conflicting opinions? Why don’t we (as a society, one family at a time) abandon this outdated tradition, and help these teens understand the truth, the myths, and the hidden risks involved in the process of dating? Isn’t it better parenting to prepare and empower them to avoid the pitfalls in dating, rather than wait for them to fall in trouble?” says Alex Mugume.
In the face of these dating challenges, Alex has studied and documented all the essential answers that one must-know about dating and matching. He says it is now easier than ever before, and he is appealing to every parent to teach their teenagers how to use the “10-Step Smart Lover’s Model”, and the “Smart Lover’s Exit Strategy Flow Chart” to enable them make the right dating decisions the first time, and to avoid these costly dating mistakes. .
This much-needed knowledge is in a new “Dating Solution” available at http://www.skillfuldating.com at a price of $ 97. “It is so user-friendly and makes dating easier. It tells you step 1 do this, step 2 do this, step 3 do this, up to step 9, following the structured protocol of the dating process. This Dating Solution will expand the teen’s dating knowledge. It will also make it easier for the parent to talk about dating and their unique compatibility features”, says Alex Mugume.
Alex Mugume is a Family Love Teacher and author of 10 Steps to Success in Love and Marriage, Self-Help Secrets for the Smart Lover. He is on a mission to make divorce and domestic violence plagues of the past. More info about skillful dating is at, http://www.skillfuldating.com.

I’m a “news junkie,” that is, I like to know what’s happening â locally, statewide, nationally ⦠even, of course, globally. I want to know “everything about everything” â political news ⦠sports news ⦠front page stuff ⦠even the goings-on in and around Hollywood.
In the days before expanded TV programming, my access to news was somewhat limited. I could tune in the 6 PM National Network News shows ⦠stay tuned at 6:30 P.M. for the local news stories ⦠return at 10 P.M. or 11 P.M. for any late-breaking stories.
Then, of course, I could buy a daily newspaper, sometimes two or even a third, to get a different slant on the same news stories ⦠or even information about a story that didn’t show up on the TV news program.
That wasn’t bad, but it’s nothing like what is available to me today. To begin, I have access to a personal computer. That enables me to read newspapers online for daily information plus access blogs for political and world news. I have a radio ⦠so I can listen to news and information shows in which political opinions about events are expressed every day. They’re informative and entertaining.
But, the best option I have, the one I enjoy more than any other is the non-stop access to news and information available to me as a subscriber to a TV programming service that gives me an almost unlimited menu of TV shows that I can watch and enjoy, including many around-the-clock, “all news-all the time” networks.
The most prominent of these networks are all Cable News Services â Fox Cable News Network ⦠MSNBC (owned and operated by NBC, of course) ⦠and CNN (Cable News Network), the originator of the Total News Network format.
If you like news and opinions on news and politics, you are sure to love any, or all, of these networks. They don’t disappoint because their programming is continuous â always on â and they are able to cover “breaking stories” 24-hours a day, seven days a week, something the major networks can’t match.
That means a story that unfolds at 3 A.M. will be covered by a Cable News Network reporter as it occurs. There has never been that kind of instant, on-the-spot coverage on news and events in history, certainly not in the earlier days of television.
But, this is the 21st Century. TV is better than ever before, thanks to the good work of programming providers. They provide a great service and I’m a fortunate beneficiary.
