Many email providers have "spam" or "junk" functions that will automatically delete or block emails that you report as "spam" or "junk." Hitting these buttons may prevent you from receiving further emails from MarriageHealing.Org. For best results, avoid using these functions with all MarriageHealing.Org communications.

Many email providers provide functions that allow you to see images and links in your email; it's often just a matter of hitting a button or two. Please contact your email provider for assistance on allowing images and links to display in your email. Please contact the MarriageHealing.Org Customer Care team if you have any further problems or questions. What is a "White-List"? Unsolicited advertising emails, commonly referred to as "spam", have become a major problem in today's society. In an effort to reduce excessive amounts of unwanted email, most email services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are starting to employ blocking or filtering systems. They're also relying on "blacklists" to help separate wanted email from unwanted spam. (Note:  Here at MarriageHealing.Org, we agree that spam is a major concern, and you can rest assured that we follow a strict no-spam policy. We only send our email newsletter and other communications to those who "opt-in" for our services, and we always provide convenient "opt-out" and cancel links at the bottom of all of our emails.) Although we only send emails to those who have opted in to our services, it's important to note that the current spam blocking systems are far from a perfect solution. The problem is that they often block email that you've requested (such as free newsletters from MarriageHealing.Org) because it fits their definition of "spam." These definitions can vary greatly depending upon the email service or ISP you are using. For example, some services block emails that are above a certain size or contain a large number of characters. This has become a problem for some of our subscribers. Why? Well, because most of our email newsletters are very lengthy, some filtering programs may mistakenly block our important communications.  As a result, you might unexpectedly find you're not getting your MarriageHealing.Org email on a regular basis. The good news is that there's something you can do to keep your MarriageHealing.Org newsletters from falling victim to an overzealous spam filter. You can fight the blacklists with a "white-list." To ensure that your future email delivery is not interrupted, we strongly urge you to add our email address to your white-list now. In order to do so, you'll need to follow the instructions we've provided above. Please note that every email system is different, so you'll need to choose the appropriate email system from the list we've provided. If your email service isn't listed here, then please contact your ISP's customer service representatives for further instructions.
