No matter what your opinions are of this organization, there’s some serious history here. Focus on the Family started by family psychologist James Dobson in 1977. It is a Christian nonprofit organization which provides practical tools, spiritual resources and emotional support to families at every stage of life.
They have a strong voice which many people desire to hear on and offline.
As a social media nut, I help churches and individuals build their communication skills online. I search for organizations and individuals who create strong communication online and these guys do.
I was flipping through the various people I like on Facebook and came across this comment from the Focus On The Family Facebook Page:
In your opinion, what’s one essential for a good marriage?
To this one, simple question, they received 2602 responses, 2584 “likes”, and 259 shares.
Wow.
I read many sites and this beats them to the ground. By comparison, on the Walmart Facebook Page, when they posted a new picture for the Dog Days of Summer, they received 1472 “likes” and 99 comments.
Granted, this isn’t scientific, but….
What did the comments say?
I went through every comment and discovered certain commonalities, the top three are here:
#1. G0d/Jesus
#2. Communication
#3. Trust
(other contenders: love, forgiveness, laughter, respect, prayer, friendship, honesty, and commitment)
Here’s the Facebook Page, you can see for yourself. https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily
Now it’s your turn.
In your opinion, what’s one essential for a good marriage?
