Good information, and nice to know that there are resources for people living in non-traditional situations. Many people living in these types of situations do not know how it impacts them legally.

http://www.stayhitched.com/balance.htm This website is called marriage success training, with the tagline of building the foundation for your lifetime together. They sell seminars for engaged couples who want premarital counseling. They cover many issues that engaged couples encounter from cohabitation, relationships with each other's families, and even how long couples should wait following the wedding to have children. The intended audience of this website seems to be couples, who are considering marriage. Either engaged or considering getting engaged. The knowledge assumed is that you are either an engaged heterosexual couple or a newly married couple. The information on this site seems reliable as a counseling resource for couples. This website does have bias towards religion and spirituality, even though it says there is no specific religion as its basis. On the homepage there are reviews from prior users of these services. They are quoted in the New York Times, as well as seen on WNBC TV news. They are holding seminars in Chicago next spring. They have Facebook pages as well as Twitter. I looked at their Facebook page, it looks like they don't really keep up on it, and they only have 75 fans. I think that any avenue that keeps a couple communicating is a positive thing for a relationship. This website did discuss many valid points for couples that may be entering that next phase of life that would encounter. In relationship to Work, Family, and Community this website brought up many good discussion topics for couples, such as how would household work be divided, would one parent stay home with children, and many other topics that may be otherwise taken for granted in a young relationship situation.

http://www.eap.partners.org/default.asp This website is a resource for employees who are employed by the affiliated healthcare facilities that provides support for a wide range of issues from balancing work and family, marital concerns, child and elder care resources, substance abuse, financial and legal concerns among other things. The intended audience is any employees that work for the network of healthcare facilities that the website is facilitated by. By looking around on the website, I could tell that it was specifically for these employees; however, there are resources on the website that are available to everyone in the form of questions and answers. The website seems to be a good source of information as a resource for employees that are dealing with difficult situations in their life. This website also provided links to many governmental websites as further resources. The website is a .org so it is more reputable. This website seems unbiased because there are no advertisements. This website did not seem to have a political or social agenda. This website seemed right on point in regards to many of the difficult situations that we learned about in this class in regards to Work, Family & Community. There were resources for child care, elder care, and mental health, as well as some other valid issues in family life such as military life and veterans.
