El Dorado Healthy Marriages Coalition

"Do you ever wonder what happened to that “Leave it to Beaver” fantasy? For some people, marriage brings a cold dose of reality. The fantasy dissolves away and we are stuck asking ourselves how can we have a relationship that is healthy and happy like we envisioned?

"In Secrets To Love: A Journey to Find the Happily Ever After, (http://www.secretstolove.com/) Director Tracie Donahue searches for the answers to finding (and maintaining) a healthy happy love, by asking real couples and relationship experts the most important questions. What draws us to people? How has the history of marriage and relationships changed over the years and does that make a difference for us today? Do certain communication patterns contribute to the breakdown of relationships? How do skills such as empathy contribute to a healthy, functioning relationship–and can they be taught? It all starts at home, but if applied globally just think where it could lead? This is a film about how real couples learned to get the marriage and relationship they hoped for." - Mammoth Film Festival
