Didn't have much time and tried to focus primarily on maintaining a home environment (husband to wife, father to children) that would prevent people from going down the path that led to the unhappiness I see in the aforementioned couples. Brief mention of porn, no mention of homosexuality (the gay folks got a break), and heavy emphasis on respect for spouse and preparing kids to understand the hows, whats, and whys of the Law of Chastity.
I like this approach...and it is one I plan on taking this week.

We all know what we're not supposed to do, but the key thing is creating an environment where we don't want to do that...and aren't even tempted etc...
