Want a good marriage? This meeting could be a start

By Kim Margolis | Friday, August 7, 2009, 06:03 PM

Want a happy marriage? Attending a meeting by a nationally-known relationship expert could be a start.

Dr. Scott Haltzman is the author of The Secrets of Happily Married Men, The Secrets of Happily Married Women and The Secrets of Happy Famlies.

Marriage Works! Ohio is bringing him to Dayton on Saturday, Sept. 12 for the discussion, “Happily Married, Fact or Fiction.” The event will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Shauntay Alexander, event planner for Marriage! Works, said Haltzman will talk about helping couples cope with the reality of marriage instead of dwelling on the expectations.

“A lot of times reality doesn’t meet what those expectations were and he’ll talk about how to move past that and learn to be happy and to have a healthy relationship,” Alexander said.

The discussion will also aim to dispel stereotypes that women look for a husband who will do everything for them and husbands just look for sex.

The meeting is for married couples of all ages at any point in their marriage. And it’s for people who aren’t yet married.

“When you are dating you do have those preconceived ideas,” she said. “It’s perfect or even more beneficial for them to come.”

Tickets are $15 and include a a copy of “The Secrets of Happily Married Men” and a dessert buffet, in case you’re having trouble getting your partner to attend.

Scott is a contributor to Redbook magazine and also has a website DrScott.com which offers relationship advice.

Marriage Works! Ohio is a Dayton-based organization that works to help build healthy families. It is funded through federal agencies.
