"Marriage That Works"

The TV Series

Welcome to the "Marriage that Works" television series. This site will allow you to watch all 9 episodes of the series. Each show runs about 29 minutes, and covers a topic related to making marriage workable. Each show features clips of interviews with experts working in the field of marriage, and with 12 couples who have had working marriages that have lasted at least 10 years. Interestingly, the chronologically oldest couple has been together the least time, and the couple that has been together the longest (since 1955) met as teenagers.

Each show also features talks by Dr. Low on that episode's topic. The talks are both theoretical and practical, giving tips and processes to be used at home. In traditional medicine, doctors tried to learn about being healthy by studying disease. Eventually, they started to realize that they could learn as much, or more, by studying healthy people, and developing a model of positive health. The same thing can be true of marriage. In the media today, we see almost exclusively images of marriages that don't work. These shows are intended to make a dent in that. By talking to those whose marriages are working, we can learn from our successes as well as our failures. As always, we welcome your feedback on any element of these shows. If you have a local cable access station that you think would be interested in running these shows please contact us.
