Relationships 101: Finding True Love in Today's World

Wedded Bliss: How to Find and Maintain Lasting Love in Contemporary America

Good marriages don’t just happen. They arise in part from good choices that young adults make before they marry, and they are sustained in part by good choices that spouses make after they are married. What are the key ingredients to marital success, both before and after one gets married? In this talk, Professor W. Bradford Wilcox, Director of the National Marriage Project, will talk about how sex, money, commitment, friends, and gender affect the quality and stability of married life in America today.
