Reviews
It is pure joy to read a book on so popular a subject as marriage that is not filled with pop-psych platitudes and prescriptive do's and don't's ... Tara Parker-Pope disabuses us of long-held myths and replaces them with facts that can help couples of any persuasion form stronger, steadier unions
