Summary
Inspired by her wildly popular New York Times essay The Wedding Toast I'll Never Give, Ada Calhoun provides a funny (but not flip), smart (but not smug) take on the institution of marriage. Weaving intimate moments from her own married life with frank insight from experts, clergy, and friends, she upends expectations of total marital bliss to present a realistic—but ultimately optimistic—portrait of what marriage is really like. There will be fights, there will be existential angst, there may even be affairs; sometimes you'll look at the person you love and feel nothing but rage. Despite it all, Calhoun contends, staying married is easy: just don't get divorced.



Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give offers bracing straight talk to the newly married and honors those who have weathered the storm. This exploration of modern marriage is at once wise and entertaining, a work of unexpected candor and literary grace.

I loved this book! Ada Calhoun is a great author! This was not a self help book or an uplifting, encouraging collection of stories. This book was more like a collection of experiences, quotes, and stories relating to the good and bad of marriage. I love her honesty. I don’t think you can write about marriage without documenting the sexual aspect of love and desire and disappointment. This book reminds me of things I learned from some other books I read this year. I would recommend this book.
