About this episode

"That Girl” Marlo Thomas and her husband, talkshow host Phil Donahue join Laura and Johnnie for a star-studded conversation about the secrets to a long lasting marriage. Marlo and Phil have almost 30 Emmy-awards between the two of them, but their new book "How to Make a Marriage Last” is the first and only project (aside from their 40 year marriage) that they’ve worked on together. They share details about many of the celebrity and luminary couples they interviewed for their book including Sting and Trudie Styler, George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth, Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone, and many others. Marlo also surprises us with her observations on where lust ranks in a long marriage.
