The Question

You’re single.  You’d like to be in a relationship.  So, what’s the problem?

The Myth

Well, if you ask around, you’ll get plenty of input as to what you’re doing wrong.  Your friends insist you need to “get out there” more.  Your mother complains that you’re too picky.  Your coworker swears that if you just get online, you’ll meet “The One” in no time.

Or in some cases, your family and friends take it a step further.  While conducting a little arm chair psychoanalysis, they determine that the core issue keeping you lonely on Saturday nights is YOU.  You’re flawed, damaged–a dating disaster zone.  They say you’re alone because you keep messing up your relationships.  You’re too controlling or too passive; too intimidating or too low-key.  Too opinionated or too boring.

And even if your friends and family hold their tongues, the rest of society doesn’t.  Bookstores’ self-help sections preach the same rhetoric with titles like, Getting Married After 30: You Won’t Unless You Change and Ten Things to Fix Today to Meet “The One” Tomorrow.  Clearly, single people need to shape up or expect to live alone forever.

Really?

Cheating.  Scandal.  Divorce.  Too often, celebrity relationships end as a result of one of these unfortunate scenarios.  Just this summer, George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis, J.Lo and Marc Anthony, Derek Jeeter and Minka Kelly, and Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez called it quits.  Even Buzz Aldrin and his wife of 23 years couldn’t make it last.

As celebrity breakups continue to provide headlines for the supermarket tabloids, we are sometimes left wondering, “Does anyone stay together, anymore?”

Fortunately, the answer is “yes.”  Celebrities who take “for better or worse” seriously may not make the headlines, but they are out there.  Two of those people are my aunt and uncle, Donny and Debbie Osmond.

Donny and Debbie were married in 1978 and have survived the highs and lows of show business together for 33 years.  I asked Debbie how she and Donny have made their relationship last when so many have failed.  In characteristic humility, she credits God and her family for helping to keep their relationship strong.  But she also has a few practical tips:
