The Marriage Benefit
Aired: Friday, July 25, 2008 11-12PM ET
By host Tom Ashbrook

Scary times out there. If you're married, or headed that way, you may want
to hunker down with your honey and ride out the headlines.

Marriage, says my guest today, isn't just good for the bottom line. It's
good for the soul. And the longer term, the better.

Half of U.S. marriages may end in divorce. Christie Brinkley and her ex may
split over his teen mistress and online porn. Boomers may be the first
generation to die before they actually grow up, he says. But long-term
marriage, if you can do it, he says, pays off big in ways you may never have
considered.

This hour, On Point: Hanging in, and the "marriage benefit."

Guests
Spacer
·    Mark O'Connell, psychologist, clinical instructor at Harvard Medical
School, and author of "The Marriage Benefit: The Surprising Rewards of
Staying Together."
·    Jack Beatty, On Point news analyst and senior editor at The Atlantic
Monthly.
