Book description
Joining your life with another person's, until death do you part, is
perhaps the biggest decision you can take. But once the vows have been
sworn, the cake has been cut, and the honeymoon is over, what are the
secrets of a lasting marriage? The Art of Marriage explains why marriage
matters. This timeless institution still casts its spell, not thanks to
the sentimental grip of tradition, but because it eases the ups and
downs of existence and makes them meaningful. Each marriage is unique,
so there are no universal laws for being a good husband or wife. But
Catherine Blyth's insights and anecdotes gather wisdom from history,
psychology, and couples who have been there, to show how best to
negotiate the three-legged obstacle race that is married life. Whether
it's upturned loo-seats, badly squeezed toothpaste, in-laws who should
be outlawed, rows over the rubbish, or sly, wandering eyes, you will
find a solution in this entertaining survivor's guide.
