Anyone we might marry could, of course, be a little bit wrong for us. We know that perfection is not on the cards. Nevertheless, errors of deep-seated incompatibility in married couples seem to occur with appalling ease and regularity. This entertainingly informative book examines the reasons why — and then suggests a new approach to marriage. The time has come to bury the Romantic intuition-based view of marriage and learn to practice and rehearse marriage as one would ice-skating or violin playing, activities no more deserving of systematic periods of instruction.

Quotes

  • Bonbon Garzonhas quoted2 years ago
    we all deserve untold sympathy for our struggles. We are trying to do something enormously difficult without the bare minimum of support necessary.
  • Bonbon Garzonhas quoted2 years ago
    This – rather than a vow never to have sex with another human again – should be the relevant test for getting married.
  • Bonbon Garzonhas quoted2 years ago
    One is ready to get married when two very difficult things are in place: one is ready to believe in one’s partner’s genuine capacity to separate love and sex. And at the same time, one is ready to believe in one’s partner’s stubborn inability to keep love and sex apart.
