In my book, 30 Lessons for Loving: Advice from the Wisest Americans on Love, Relationships, and Marriage, I used pseudonyms for all of the couples in the book. I did that to preserve anonymity – even though many of the elders would have liked having their names in print!

So it’s nice when readers can meet some of the elders in their own, real identities. The Miami Herald published an article today featuring three couples who are in the book, telling their own marriage stories and lessons in more detail. I hope you enjoy meeting them as much as I did!
