With Dr. Howard Stanley, Dr. Scott Markman, and Natalie Jenkins,the team of researchers who created PREP
Saturday afternoon, I drove from Bartlesville to Tulsa to speak and share my platform with the attendees of Forever. For Real. The workshop leaders for the presentation were none other than the PREP team, Dr. Howard Stanley, Dr. Scott Markman, and Natalie Jenkins, the team of researchers who created PREP at the University of Denver.
I was happy to share my message and what I have been doing as Mrs. Oklahoma. I spoke about my motivation to compete and to promote my platform, the various service projects and presentations that I am currently working on in Oklahoma, and a little encouragement: to take what they learn in this one day event and apply it to their lives. The skills and techniques learned at PREP really work, if you use them. I explained that Bobby and I use them and that makes a big difference in our relationship.
With Bob Davis, the initiative's Oklahoma City-based
The staff of the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative was wonderful as always. I adore Tulsa area service delivery coordinator Amanda Carter, and I was glad to meet Bob Davis, the OMI community relations specialist based in Oklahoma City. Bob works on several projects that target the African American community in OKC. Hopefully, he and I will be working together soon.

I also met and took a photo with the creators of PREP. I fear I may have been a little juvenile with them -- There is just something about people who dedicate their lives to life-changing research and help desimminate the results that fills me with awe, and respect, and maybe makes me a little giddy if I'm being completely honest. I hope to study, research, discover, and share the truth in that way, whether we're talking about families or the latest advancements in applied math. It was fun!
After presenting more people than I can count came up to me to ask for information about the teen and young adult presentations, the Banana Splits program, and Forever. For Real. Couples, please communicate about your expectations, do your part to nurture the good stuff (fun, friendship, sex), and learn how to handle touchy issues in a productive way. All of these concepts are explored in PREP. To find a workshop, visit www.ForeverForReal.com. To become a volunteer workshop leader, visit www.okmarriage.org.
And that's not for an 'OK' marriage but for an exceptional one.
Ha ha...I had to make that joke. It was too easy. :) I'll write again soon.
