Psychometrics (the measurement of personality factors and their impact on relationship dynamics) is a particular area of interest. Marion is an occasional lecturer at a variety of post-graduate institutions in Ontario and she maintains strong colleague and family connections across Canada.

Her writing on “Avoiding the Top Ten Marriage Zappers” has received wide circulation. She and her husband, Donald have published a series of articles on increasing marital intimacy through spiritual discipline.

Please note that due to the large number of questions Marion receives, she will be able to answer a limited number. If you feel your problem is very urgent, please contact a marriage and family therapist in your local area.
