Call You and Yours: What's really important in a relationship?
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
We'd like you to tell us - what's really important in a relationship? Researchers at Exeter University have come up with a checklist of ten questions which potential newly-weds should ask themselves before they tie the knot to see if they really are compatible. Their work is being supported by Baroness Fiona Shackleton, the divorce lawyer who represented Prince Charles in his divorce in 1996. According to the latest statistics, around 42% of marriages end in divorce in England and Wales. Baroness Shackleton believes there isn't enough education around the issue and that in more than half of her cases couples simply hadn't realised they were not compatible. We want to know - what do you think is really important in a relationship? Call 03 700 100 444 after 11am. Presenter: Winifred Robinson Producer: Simon Hoban.
