From January 8, 1993: Oprah interviews self-help author and Oprah Show regular guest Harville Hendrix, who teaches us how to make our relationships not only last longer, but become happier. He talks about overcoming trust issues, childhood wounds appearing in adulthood and how marriage is a structure for healing. He also works with several couples on making their love last and discusses his books Getting The Love You Want and Keeping The Love You Find. Oprah explains how Getting the Love You Want helped improve her relationship with Stedman Graham. Of Harville’s work, Oprah says, “I saw relationships not solely as the kind of romantic pursuit our society celebrates, but as a spiritual partnership that's meant to change how you see yourself and the world.” Harville is a New York Times best-selling author, international speaker and couples therapist with more than 40 years of experience as an educator, clinical trainer and lecturer who has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show 17 times.

As a part of WW Presents “Oprah’s 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus Tour,” Golden Globe winner, Oscar-nominated actress and co-founder of fitness brand Fabletics Kate Hudson sits down with Oprah in front of a live audience in San Francisco. Kate discusses motherhood, living optimistically and growing up as the daughter of Goldie Hawn.
