America's Divorce & Relationship Crises Equals Poor Health, Diminished Finances, and Lost Workplace Productivity

Holiday Stress Doesn't Help. Dr. Brenda Wade's International Love, Money and Seva Summit Includes Dr. John Gray author of “Men Are From Mars/Women Are From Venus.

San Francisco-In the romantic city of San Francisco where many have left their hearts, a five-year plan is in the works for couples to find their hearts and enrich their relationships. Amid foreclosures and extreme economic trials, America's divorce epidemic has skyrocketed to $325 billion a year cost, creating health, economic, and workplace losses, and devastating children, yet research shows the divorce rate should only be 8.5 percent.  The holiday season only adds to the stress and research shows the two weeks prior to Christmas is critical because many families and couples breakup as stress mounts.

With divorce and relationship problems impacting the workplace, it's imperative that corporate CEO's and HR Directors take action and provide staff with tools that will not only help them, but also cut down on workplaces losses, according to Brenda Wade, Ph.D. An internationally know relationship expert, Wade says the 51 percent divorce rate drops to 17 percent for couples receiving premarital counseling. That 17 percent becomes 8.5 when couples hitting snags later on receive relationship coaching.

Wade founded the "International Love, Money and Seva Summit, (seva means a selfless act of service) taking place in San Francisco Dec. 9-12 as part of the a five-year campaign to cut America's divorce rate in half by the end of 2015.   The Summit offers intensive training to corporations, couples, and singles with the tools to create balanced, fulfilling lives and relationships.   Dr. John Gray of “Men Are From Mars/Women Are From Venus” fame is among the arsenal of strategic speakers at the International Love, Money and Seva Summit available to strengthen relationships.

At this critical time of year of major marriage and relationship breakups, Wade is helping married and unmarried couples take action to save their love during the hectic holidays. "In these economic times, with the holiday stress adding to emotional and financial conflict in relationships," Wade says, "This is a time when we all need proven and proactive solutions."

Known as America's "Love Doctor" on The Oprah Show, CNN, the NBC Today Show, and as host of the national TV show Can This Marriage Be Saved?, and author of the recently released book 99 Things You Wish You Knew Before Falling in Love, Wade has called upon top experts in love, money and service to speak at the Summit.  They include award-winning CNN business journalist Valerie Coleman Morris, Sandra and Kym Yancey, founders of the international eWomen Network, author of Boys Before Business: The Single Girl's Guide to Having it All, Kimberly A. Mylls, and many others.  See Dr. Wade's video invitation at

Wade says Summit participants will leave with the four proven steps everyone should know based on current research: love, money and service insight, skills, action and maintenance. These steps yield the "triple bottom line," the secret to a balanced, fulfilling life.

The Secrets to Love & Money, the film based on the Summit, will also be shot on-location in San Francisco during the Summit produced by Valerie Scoon, former vice president of Harpo Films.
