(CNN) -- According to a TIME/Pew research poll released last week, 40 percent of Americans believe that marriage is becoming obsolete, up from just 28 percent in 1978. In that same poll, only one in four unmarried Americans say they do not want to get married. And among currently married men and women, 80 percent say their marriage is as close as or closer than their parents' marriage. These seemingly contradictory responses reflect the public's recognition of a new and complex reality. On the one hand, marriage as a voluntary relationship based on love and commitment is held in

'Hookers for Jesus' Tries to Save Las Vegas Prostitutes Meet Annie Lobert -- a former prostitute with a singular mission: saving Las Vegas hookers. Lobert, and her faith-based mission -- which she calls "Hookers for Jesus" -- are the focus of "Hookers: Saved on the Strip," a three-part series premiering Dec. 8 on Investigation Discovery. "When I used to get arrested and the vice [cops] called me a 'hooker,' it really offended me," Lobert told The Post. "So one day I was thinking, if I was reaching out to women and starting to go into casinos and saying, 'I can help you change your life,' and calling myself Annie, it would be a weird thing -- 'Annie Lobert's Reach Out.' "So I figured Hookers for Jesus. I believe in God, for one, and I was a hooker and now I go and fish for people [to save]." TV cameras follow Lobert as she tries to teach ex-call girls how to turn their lives around. In the show's premiere episode, Regina, who grew up in a middle-class New Jersey family and turned to prostitution while in

Cindy McCain Defies Husband, Comes Out Against DADT by Kilian Melloy Arizona Sen. John McCain, whose threatened filibuster helped derail a Congressional repeal of the anti-gay law that bans open GLBTs from military service, not only faces criticism in the press for his stance; he’s also at odds on the home front over the issue. Both McCain’s wife, Cindy, and his daughter, Meghan, have come out as strong supporters of efforts to repeal "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell." Cindy McCain is featured in a video about GLBT youth suicide, speaking to the way in which "political and religious leaders" foster anti-gay oppression, "telling[ing] LGBT youth that they have no future." Adds McCain, "They can’t serve our country openly." Others in the video point out other avenues to legal equality and civic participation that are closed to sexual minorities, such as blood donation and federal recognition of their families. But Cindy McCain’s line is especially pointed, given that her husband has not only refused to allow l

Who should your role model be?  1) Choose someone who has a lot of confidence in themselves and their abilities. A good role model would be someone who knows who they are. You don't want someone who is down and who will bring you down. You want someone who won't pretend to be someone they are not, and won't be fake just to suit other people. 2) Consider someone who thinks it is alright to be unique; even if that means accepting some ridicule. They should make you feel good about being yourself, they shouldn't make you compare yourself to them and wish you were pretty. 3) Think about someone who interacts well with others', and someone who is kind and can communicate well with people. 4) Look for someone who is living life the way you would like to. If you want to be a famous author, your role model could be someone who has been successful at writing. If you have always wanted to be a nurse, your role model could be someone at your local hospital
