From This Day Forward » (Reprint)

Cokie Roberts is a political commentator for ABC News and a senior news analyst for National Public Radio. Along with her husband, Steven V. Roberts, she writes a weekly column syndicated in newspapers across the country by United Media. She is the author of We Are Our Mothers' Daughters, Founding Mothers, and, with her husband, From This Day Forward. She lives in Bethesda, Maryland.

With a narrative structure similar to We Are Our Mothers' Daughters, Cokie and Steve Roberts use personal recollections as a springboard for the discussion of larger issues such as marriage, love, and family. When Cokie and Steve Roberts got married, some "friends" said it wouldn't last-just because she's Catholic and he's Jewish. Proving the doubters wrong, they have been married for over thirty years and have a few pieces of advice. Cokie and Steve will discuss issues from their own marriage as well as open a window onto famous unions in history, as seen from their different perspectives as husband and wife. Those stories tell a tale of the particular strengths and weaknesses of marriage in America and show the foundation of marriage as one that's undergone tremendous amounts of change while remaining fundamentally the same.
