MARLO THOMAS AND PHIL DONAHUE

With over four decades of married life under their belts, Marlo and Phil are using the wisdom they’ve gained to help those who might be having trouble with theirs. Both in their 80’s, they have recently published a new book, “What Makes a Marriage Last: 40 Celebrated Couples Share with Us the Secrets to a Happy Life.” It features some of their celebrity friends whose marriages have lasted, including Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon, among others.

The goal? To figure out what works and what doesn’t. Every marriage, the relationship has its whirlwind of struggles. Their book is impressive to read the different experiences and issues that various couples have encountered. One thing that a couple shared is to never run away with confrontations but always stuck with it. We sure hope this book helps couples avoid the need for divorce lawyers in the future and guide them on making their marriage stronger.
