What Makes a Marriage Last: 40 Celebrated Couples Share with Us the Secrets to a Happy Life

Forty famous couples talk about their relationships and what keeps them strong in this “delightful and instructive” New York Times bestseller (Publishers Weekly).

What makes a marriage last? To unlock this mystery, iconic couple Marlo Thomas and Phil Donahue crisscrossed the country and conducted intimate conversations with forty couples whose long marriages they’d admired—from award-winning actors, athletes, and newsmakers to writers, comedians, musicians, and a former U.S. president and First Lady. Through these conversations, Marlo and Phil also revealed the rich journey of their own marriage.

What Makes a Marriage Last offers practical and heartfelt wisdom for couples—and a rare glimpse into the lives of husbands and wives we’ve come to know and love. Marlo and Phil’s frequently funny, often touching, and always engaging conversations span the marital landscape—from that first rush of new love to keeping that precious spark alive, from navigating hard times to celebrating triumphs, from balancing work and play and family to growing better and stronger together. At once candid, revelatory, hilarious, wise, and poignant, this book is a beautiful gift for couples of every age and stage.
