HURRY UP DAY JOB: MarriageDebate! This week, IVF mistakes and what we mean when we say a child is “ours”; adoption and parental investment; fathers, and whether family-resource centers tend to assume that they’re irrelevant.

Last week, marriage in the movies, a CNN debate about monogamy, a chewy Newsweek piece on the future of abstinence-only sex ed, libertarianism and culture, “your brain without Dad,” Stephen Colbert, and much much more.

I know I don’t post there regularly enough. But believe me, even if you have signed up (as I hope you have!) for the IMAPP weekly newsletter, you’re still missing interesting marriage- and family-related links, if you don’t check in at the blog. (The weekly newsletter does give you the more scholarly stuff, so if your time is limited, consider signing up for that. The site itself is a bit more freewheeling, basically whatever I feel like throwing into the hopper plus whatever the IMAPP overlords consider interesting plus occasional flotsam. That can be a real advantage, though, since the blog addresses a wider range of issues and perspectives than the newsletter.)

I am not being paid to tell you this! I just think we’ve got stuff up there now which would interest many of the readers of this site.

PS: As always, send me links! As you can see from the cornucopia above, the site deals with marriage, family, parenting, and gender issues, and we’re willing to publish pretty much anybody’s perspective as long as it’s well-written and/or intriguing. Our job is to advance the debate.
