How to Keep Your Marriage From Sucking by Greg Behrendt

A hilarious and hopeful primer to prevent, combat, and eliminate the suckage in modern marriage by doing it right in the early years, from one of the minds behind the series Sex and the City and the New York Times bestselling authors of He’s Just Not That Into You, It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken, and It’s Just a F***ing Date Some marriages start out storybook. Perfect proposal, perfect engagement, perfect wedding, perfect honeymoon, and perfect newlywed years. Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola stumbled right out of the wedding gate. Their choices in the early years, they’ll tell you, nearly bought their marriage a one-way ticket to Suckville. The New York Times bestselling authors explore all the adventures of early wedlock, from the moment one of you gets on one knee to the day when sex starts to feel like work instead of play. In this guidebook, Behrendt and Ruotola explore their own marriage and, with gleeful candor, tremendous warmth, sharp humor, and piercing insight, look at what we who have decided to “settle down” hope to get out of our most lasting relationship. We venture through volumes on the engagement, wedding planning, the Big Day, the wedding hangover, the (blissful?) first year, the hard work of marrying two lives, fights, and sex-pectations versus sex-pectreality. The perfect book for those who have just put a ring on it or are thinking of putting a ring on it, Behrendt and Ruotola’s work is a brilliant guide for the first stretch of that wild ride we call marriage.

"A book of comedy. . [T]he married authors, Greg Behrendt (who wrote She’s Just Not That Into You) and Amiira Ruotola, are very funny people....The best reasons to read How to Keep Your Marriage From Sucking . . . are the fabulous cautionary tales from the marriages of the authors’ friends." –The New York Times
“A playful and useful self-help guide to help readers through the newlywed stage of `wedded bliss.’ Candid, conversational, and occasionally profane, the book is packed with short, often hilarious nuggets culled from personal experience . . . [and] makes for an entertaining alternative to couples therapy.” —Kirkus Reviews
