	Would you like to have a long and happy marriage? Would you like your problems to lessen and your love to increase? Would you like to save yourself the cost of a divorce? You can.
	Living together isn't as easy as all the romantic novels and fairy tale stories would have us believe, is it? We all know, only too well, that not everyone lives happily ever after. In fact with the current divorce rates, at least a third, if not a half, of all marriages end in divorce. It seems as though living together for a long time is becoming an impossible dream. Yet it can happen.
	Couples can live together for a long time AND BE HAPPY. Even when they are different. Rachel and Mike have proved it. You just need to know what to do. But, how do you find out how to keep the love alive and how to sort out your differences and difficulties?
	Sadly, there isn't a lot of good marriage advice around to help and there are few good role models to inspire us. After all, when we look at the celebrity marriages in the magazines and newspapers they don't give us a lot of confidence, do they? And there are many relationship theories around but how do we know whether the academics live them in their own marriages? Also, if you check out some marriage guidance counselors you'll find some on their third or fourth marriages and others who aren't even married at all. Others are excellent, but it's hard to tell the difference when you are want good advice, isn't it?
	So here is something different, something you can trust. It's down-to-earth and worthwhile marriage advice, from a husband and wife with a happy and long marriage. Rachel and Mike Green have been brave enough to invite you behind the scenes of their successful 33 year marriage to hear an unscripted conversation about what makes it work and what they get up to! And it isn't necessarily what you'd expect.
	They are feeling a bit vulnerable about being so public because they are usually not ones to seek the limelight - well Mike certainly isn't anyway! He's a computer programmer who normally in an office all day talking to a machine rather than behind a microphone. However, he put in a sterling performance just for you. He is typical of many married blokes, he likes his shed! You need to hear him.
	Rachel, well she is the opposite - an outgoing people person who loves to chat and who does it for a living, giving speeches and running workshops. She, like many women, comes home ready to talk while Mike is ready to retreat!
	And there are plenty more potential clashes ... he's punctual, she's not. He's a detailed factual person, she's a big picture dreamer. He's practical and literal, she's into feelings and emotions. But to find out who the slob is you'll have to listen to the CDs!
	So how come they've stayed together? And been happy for so long?
	You'll find out Rachel and Mike's secrets to a happy marriage on their new CD set, "A successful marriage: How to have a long and happy marriage and overcome the problems".
	This is a unique, frank and intimate CD series.
	It's not theory, its not celebrity, its not make-believe – it's a real view, of a real marriage as it's never been heard before.
	At times funny, at others heartfelt, but always sincere - this is marriage advice you can use and apply to your relationship - whether marriage or defacto.
	There are new techniques on here that could give you the confidence to make your marriage feel awesome. However, Rachel and Mike are not expecting your relationship to be the same as theirs. What they hope for, more than anything, is that it will give you something different to talk about; something specific to discuss; something to inspire you to find out what works for you so that you have the confidence to find your own way to lasting happiness. Because they know that it is possible - a happy marriage doesn't just occur in fairy stories.
	Let them empower you to find your way to a happier marriage.
	Warning: There are some sexual references and a few coarse words, but also some good laughter.
	This useful advice could make your marriage much, much happier. How wonderful that would be.
