Finally finished. This book goes on and on. While interesting, it get tedious. Then Marlo and Phil start repeating themselves. The audio is very hard to listen to. Would have been much better if they used the recordings from the actual interviews. 2.5 stars

I adored this. I decided to read it because they interviewed Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick :). I have to say though... Alan & Arlene Alda and Billy & Janice Crystal were my favorite stories. All these couples had some beautiful insights and overall it was a very lovely read.

• Too long
• The stories were repetitive
• I wasn't getting that much out of it

I got about halfway through the audio book before deciding I’d rather be listening to something else.

The interviews were somewhat entertaining, but not incredibly inspiring. I thought it was odd how they asked most couples about jealousy.

it was interesting and nice to hear from some of the most famous couples...but it was loooong...and towards the end it got repetitive with the advice and their own story... took me a couple of days of listening because it was thaaat long....

Kindle: What a wonderful glimpse into the lives of so many people. The diversity of couples is something to be applauded. Maybe my favorite book of the year so far.

Long! Interesting to read about this celebrity couples who have been married for so long especially since so many don’t last. No mention though about how financial security helps...
