Over 2 million Americans get married every year, and promise their partner to stay with them for the rest of their lives. Yet roughly fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. Why do so many of them fail? Is it lack of communication or growing pains? And what can be done to build stronger, more loving relationships to keep a marriage alive? Join Dr. Dan Gottlieb on the next Voices in the Family when he talks with family therapist, B. Janet Hibbs. She says that fairness can be the key to solving problems and making marriages last. Dr. Hibbs is a psychotherapist in private practice in Philadelphia and author of Try to See it My Way. For more information on Dr. Hibbs, visit www.drbhibbs.com or go to www.trytoseeitmyway.com.

Voices in the Family now celebrating 20 years of thoughtful discussions dealing with the many aspects of personality, psychology, and inter-personal relationships. Dan Gottlieb Ph.D,
host of Voices in the Family, is a family therapist in private practice. He is a nationally recognized lecturer in the field of mental health, and a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Zip across the radio dial in almost any city and you're likely to find self-help programs that claim to solve listeners' problems. But few offer the straightforward, authoritative advice on family health issues available on Voices in the Family, a weekly public radio program hosted by Dan Gottlieb, Ph.D.
Each week Gottlieb and guest experts, joined by thoughtful callers, discuss issues that affect individuals and society. The show covers the emotional and psychological implications of everything from children and religion to sexual abuse and the law, sibling relationships, hate groups and the impact of natural disasters. Voices admits listeners to unseen worlds, presenting an author's firsthand description of schizophrenia, for instance.
Voices offers a mix of solid information -- beginning with Gottlieb's thorough interview of his guest, followed by intelligent, sympathetic responses to audience inquiries. He guides callers through a series of questions that clarify both their own experience and its broad implications. Sprinkled throughout are bits of humor that come with listeners acknowledging our common foibles.
