**FAMSA**

We kicked off today's show with psychologist Adrian Jacobson from the Family And Marriage Society.

Since it is the special day of valentine's day Jacobson said that the best thing we as civilians can do in this day and age is spread love.

FAMSA believes that the family is the nucleus of society, and when this weakens the stability of the entire community is negatively affected.

Their vision is to establish an healthy, functional family life, the mission is to empower people to build, reconstruct and maintain sound relationships in marriages, families and communities.
