Sharon Horgan – Secrets Of A Good Marriage

Sharon Horgan, writer and actress, gate-crashes six very different marriages and a wedding in a bid to open up to the private world of husbands and wives.  Sharon says, ‘everyone knows what they want from a wedding – drunk by noon, quick go on a bridesmaid, chocolate fountain – but what do we want from a marriage?’ She admits marriage is a serious, lifelong commitment but nobody tells you how to do it. Sharon meets six different couples to explore the essence of a lifelong and happy marriage. She wants to find out how they’ve made it work and what she can learn about marriage from their relationships.

Sharon spends time with the each of the couples detailed below:

Tantric sex teachers Kavida and Roland think there’s no reason why marriage should get in the way of a ‘mind-blowing sex life’.  Everything they do together is sexy: whether it’s shopping, walking or even drinking tea.

‘Louella’ has a different story: her husband isn’t interested in sex, and tolerates her having a lover so they can stay married.   She is a dab hand on the marital dating scene and finds her lovers online.

Chris and Norma have a 32 year age gap. Chris was 18 when he was bewitched by 50 year old Norma on holiday. He proposed within 2 months and they’ve been married for 13 years. Norma describes herself as a ‘mother and his lover’.

Steven and Shelly saved their marriage by the ‘elimination of feminism in their relationship’.  They run a marriage website, and tell wives to look to the natural world for inspiration – lions in particular. ‘Mrs Lion’ goes to get the food and ‘Mr Lion’ protects the pack.

Lydia and Andrew have swapped roles: she’s the alpha female, he’s the house husband. Andrew’s daily routine is shopping, cleaning cooking and doing the school run. Lydia’s is conferences and airports as she’s a management consultant. She tries not to micro manage from afar and he tries to stick to her menu plans.

Chas and Diane & Jo and Graham are two couples and Diane and Jo are identical twins. They have lived together in the same house for 23 years and their four children have been raised as siblings. They share everything together with the exception of each other’s wives and the bedrooms. What’s the point of wife swapping when they both look the same?

What is Hypnosis & NLP ?

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a pseudoscientific approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States, in the 1970s. NLP’s creators claim there is a connection between neurological processes (neuro-), language (linguistic) and behavioral patterns learned through experience (programming), and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life. Bandler and Grinder also claim that NLP methodology can “model” the skills of exceptional people, allowing anyone to acquire those skills. They claim as well that, often in a single session, NLP can treat problems such as phobias, depression, tic disorders, psychosomatic illnesses, near-sightedness, allergy, the common cold, and learning disorders. NLP has been adopted by some hypnotherapists and also by companies that run seminars marketed as leadership training to businesses and government agencies.

There is no scientific evidence supporting the claims made by NLP advocates, and it has been discredited as a pseudoscience. Scientific reviews state that NLP is based on outdated metaphors of how the brain works that are inconsistent with current neurological theory and contain numerous factual errors. Reviews also found that all^{[dubious – discuss]} of the supportive research on NLP contained significant methodological flaws and that there were three times as many studies of a much higher quality that failed to reproduce the “extraordinary claims” made by Bandler, Grinder, and other NLP practitioners.
