520 |a Considering the limited economic advantages to marriage, the deluge of other mate options a swipe away, and the fact that almost half of all marriages in the United States end in divorce anyway, why do so many of us still chain ourselves to one human being for life? Havrilesky illustrates the delights, aggravations, and sublime calamities of her marriage over the span of fifteen years, charting an unpredictable course from meeting her one true love to slowly learning just how much energy is required to keep that love aflame. In an honest portrait of a marriage, Havrilesky traces a path from daydreaming about forever for the first time to understanding what a tedious, glorious drag forever can be. -- adapted from jacket
