Another View on Health: Spousal Relationships

If you're married, ever been married, or in a committed relationship, think back to a time when you knew that... this is the one- this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. Does that memory make you smile? Where are you in your spousal or committed relationship? If it's good, how do you keep it that way? There exists stereotypes that black women are independent to a fault and are not willing to be reliant on a male partner, or there aren't enough viable black men to marry because "they're all locked up." How are black people navigating love and commitment? On this edition of Another View, Relationship Expert Dr. Alevan Lyons and Hampton Roads Medical Group Cardiovascular Medical Director and Market Director of Community Health Improvement and Engagement and co-host of Another View on Health, Dr. Keith Newby help unpack successful coupling. This, and all Another View Programs can be heard on demand on the show's program page.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
