Summary:
Ada Calhoun, acclaimed for her provocative essays in the New York Times Modern Love and Lives columns, presents an unflinching but also loving portrait of her own marriage, opening a long-overdue conversation about the institution as it truly is: not the happy ending of a love story or a relic doomed by high divorce rates, but the beginning of a challenging new chapter of which the first twenty years are the hardest. These funny, poignant personal essays explore the bedrooms of modern coupledom for a nuanced discussion of infidelity, existential anxiety, and the many other obstacles to staying together. A refreshing new way to think about marriage as a brave, tough, creative decision to stay with another person for the rest of your life. Ada Calhoun is the author of Instinctive Parenting: trusting ourselves to raise good kids.
