Yes, it's true -- yet another book casting a critical look at the institution of matrimony! "I Don't -- A Contrarian History of Marriage" by Susan Squire is next on my list, so look for a review in this space relatively soon -- but in the meantime, reviews in more conventional media outlets have been very positive. An added bonus is the very excellent cover -- I won't spoil it with a description, check it out at your local library or bookstore. I will mention, however, that the cover photo reminds me of a joke:
Q: What does a woman say to a man while they are having sex?
A: It depends.
If the woman is a prostitute, she says "Leave the money on the nightstand."
If the woman is the man's girlfriend, she says "Oh baby, just like that, YES!!!"
And if the woman is the man's wife, she says "Beige."
"I think I'll paint the ceiling beige."
