Are people in good marital, long-term relationships healthier than those in bad ones? The answer is yes, according to panelists at the Women's Conference break out session, "It's Time to Talk About Marriage and Relationships: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly."Three very different couples shared how they each deal with the ups and downs of their relationships.

Topics such as love, sex and commitment were discussed by Al Roker, weather and feature reporter, NBC's The Today Show and president of Al Roker Entertainment and his wife Deborah Roberts, ABC news correspondent; Hal Rubenstein, fashion director, InStyle Magazine and his partner David Nickle, Associate vice president of engineering, AECOM, shared their keys to a successful relationship.

On the subject of sex, event moderators Dr. Mehmet Oz of the Dr. Oz Show and his wife, author Lisa Oz, told attendees how vital it is to any healthy relationship.

"My motto has always been, like Nike, "Just do It," said Lisa Oz. Being comfortable being "you" is key, she said, adding that a both must be whole and mutually beneficial in a relationship.

During her marriage Roberts admitted she had to learn, from her husband, to not stress and be so anxiety about everything, but to "Just let it go, it's OK," she said he would tell her. Having a partner who pushes you to be better is also good for a marriage, said Roker. Arguments should never be a win-lose event,

said Lisa Oz. "When you win an argument you really lose, because you are one," she said. Relationships should also never be considered a completion of the other person, said Rubenstein. It's OK to be different, he said, after admitting to being more of a people person than his partner.

"I like to be left alone. I like being alone. I've always like being along," said Nickle. "I like being with him. I don't need 14 other people. I really don't need two other people."

Another key to success: allow one another to be themselves.

"Al likes things to be smooth. He doesn't like a lot of bumpiness," said Roberts. "So if we are having a discussion, Al kind of wants to neaten it up and let's kind of smooth it out," said Roberts.

But what's the most important?

"Even if there's a fight, at the end of day, we know we're still together," she said.

Self-Esteem

Inspire a girl, change her world. That's the motto for the Dove Movement for Self-Esteem, which was the focus of the session "It's time to Learn How to Build Self-Esteem and Leadership in Young Women."

Woman of all ages listened intently to panelist Lisa Leslie, retired WNBA player; Katherine Schwarzenegger, author and activist; Jessica Simpson, singer and actress; and Jess Weiner, columnist for MSN.com and Seventeen Magazine as each opened up about their experiences with bullying, self-esteem and the importance of instilling positivity in young girls.

Gayle King, editor-at-large for O, The Oprah Magazine, was the session moderator. Laughter was constant as attendees were reminded of their childhood experiences with esteem issues. "We as women are so critical of ourselves," said Schwarzenegger. "We look in the mirror and jump right to the things we don't like about ourselves."

Leadership, Self-esteem and real beauty from the inside are what matter, said Leslie, who says she was 6 feet tall in the sixth grade and wore size 12 shoes at 12 years old.

"It wasn't always easy, but I had a wonderful mom who knew I was going to be tall from day one," she said. "My mom would always say, 'Lisa you've been blessed to grow on the outside and the inside.'"Being in the limelight does not shield you from the same criticism you experienced as a child, Simpson said.

"It's hard to not listen to what people are saying and hard, as a woman, to listen to those things and not cry about it," said Simpson. "I am constantly falling off the path and picking myself back up and getting back on it."King told attendees that even she was of age when she finally learned an important life lesson.

"There's always going to be someone who cuter, richer, smarter, thinner, more successful -- some could say nicer, some could say you have more than me," King said. "You just have to get to a point where you feel good about yourself, whatever that package is."
