What Seven Hundred Marriages Can Teach Us About Love
Here's a radical thought: what if the best relationship advice doesn't come from therapists, self-help gurus, or dating apps, but from people who've actually made it work for half a century? Over seven hundred Americans who've sustained marriages for 30, 40, even 70 years were asked a simple question: What have you learned? Their answers challenge nearly everything modern culture tells us about love. These aren't celebrities or relationship coaches-they're ordinary people who've weathered depression, war, illness, infidelity, and profound social change without giving up. Their collective wisdom reveals patterns that transcend generations, offering a roadmap for lasting love that feels both ancient and urgently relevant.
