It’s so easy to fall in love, but so hard to make it last. With today’s divorce rates, your audience can’t afford to miss this show.

Susan Seliger says we better face it — love just isn’t enough. It can be difficult to look honestly at the person we love but if we don’t, the marriage won’t last. She focuses on “The Big 6” —essential issues that couples must discuss early on in a serious relationship.

She’ll explain why these are the big 6 and what questions couples should ask each other about:

• Religion—the role it plays in your lives and how you’ll raise children.

• Money—earning, saving and spending.

• Sex—enjoyment and importance throughout the relationship.

• Children—yes or no, how to raise them and what if you can’t have them.

• Recreation—what do you enjoy together and apart?

• Acceptable behavior—what it means and holding your partner accountable.

Susan is co-author of WONDERFUL MARRIAGE: A Guide to Building a Great Relationship that Will Last a Lifetime. Her co-authors are Terrence Real, therapist and teacher, and Lilo and Gerald Leeds. The Leeds have enjoyed a successful marriage for more than 50 years based on living this advice.
