Marriage Confidential Love in the Post-Romantic Age

Written with the persuasive power of Naomi Wolf and the analytical skills of Susan Faludi, Pamela Haag's provocative but sympathetic look at the state of marriage today answers-and goes beyond-the question many of us are asking: "Is this all there is?"
Marriage Confidential tackles this question with bracing candor, taking us inside a world where romantic ideas have given way to a "post-romantic" mood and a fair number of marriages end up "semi-happy." It's a world where the husbands of "workhorse wives" pursue the Having It All dream that married women have abandoned; where children have migrated from the children's table to the centerpiece; and where technology, demography, and economy place unprecedented stresses on marital fidelity. Among other examples of marriage trailblazers, Haag even presents a case for how updated ideas of non-monogamy might be an option for the future.
Uniquely weaving together cultural commentary, memoir, storytelling, history, and research, Marriage Confidential gives us a riveting glimpse of what the future of marriage might look like.
