This week on ‘Josh Thomas and Friends and You’ I ask my divorced mum if she thinks being married to my dad was worth it - on what would have been her 46th wedding anniversary (by accident!). Also my married friend Tom Ward tells me how much of a long term relationship we should be expected to feel actively in love. Fun!

PS: We talk about my boyfriend - his name is Josh. It's the same name as me!
