In 1986, 373 couples began a study at the University of Michigan called the Early Years of Marriage. Today those same 373 couples (and their various divorces and remarriages) are still being followed, making it one of largest and longest studies running in the US on the state of relationship.
My good friend Dr. Terri Orbuch has been following these couples for decades and has written 3 books on the subject. "5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great," "Finding Love Again: 6 Simple Steps to a New and Happy Relationship," and "Secrets to Surviving Your Children's Love Relationships: A Guide for Parents."
We sit down and pull apart some of the vast amounts of data she's collected and what it means for all of us.
