The secrets of a happy marriage?

Good to hear from ex-King Constantine of Greece that he's a bit of a fan of Kate Middleton, and that he has already advised Prince William that it's a bit dangerous to fly helicopters when you're in love! Bless him for breaking ranks and giving an interview that betrays a humanity we don't see often enough, in my opinion, from the Windsors.

He says the young couple are definitely in love (something we need to hear, bearing in mind our long memories of the doomed Diana-Charles match) and that the whole family is going to have a great day next Friday just enjoying the wedding.

Made me think of the sort of advice that young couples get when they consider tying the knot. King Constantine's to William is to enjoy the day, and not to think of Catherine when he's flying a helicopter!

Many young bridegrooms are told to "just remember she's always right". Other couples are warned never to go to bed on a quarrel - stay up and fight! One of my guests on the radio today works with young people by introducing them to older couples who have (or in some cases, have not) made a success of marriage. Can lessons be learned from an older generation? And what are the questions most youngsters want to ask about relationships? Well, they're all staggered that anyone over fifty has a sex life at all! The scheme is called Explore, a charity that aims to get young people talking about relationships in the hope that this will help them in the future, when they're contemplating tying the knot themselves.
