Seven essays celebrating the beauty of the imperfect marriage. We hear plenty about whether or not to get married, but much less about what it takes to stay married. Clichés around marriage—eternal bliss, domestic harmony, soul mates—leave out the real stuff. After marriage you may still want to sleep with other people. Sometimes your partner will bore the hell out of you. And when stuck paying for your spouse’s mistakes, you might miss being single. In Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give, Ada Calhoun presents an unflinching but also loving portrait of her own marriage, opening a long-overdue conversation about the institution as it truly is: not the happy ending of a love story or a relic doomed by high divorce rates, but the beginning of a challenging new chapter of which “the first twenty years are the hardest.” Calhoun’s funny, poignant personal essays explore the bedrooms of modern coupledom for a nuanced discussion of infidelity, existential anxiety, and the many other obstacles to staying together. Both realistic and openhearted, Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give offers a refreshing new way to think about marriage as a brave, tough, creative decision to stay with another person for the rest of your life. “What a burden,” Calhoun calls marriage, “and what a gift.”

The Author Dr Sue Palmer-Conn is a Chartered Psychologist. Over the past 12 years, she has worked with over 1000 men, women, couples and their children as a Discernment Counsellor and as a Divorce Coach. The book was conceived after conversations with clients whose marital problems seemed to stem from common problem areas. Many of the clients said that if they'd only talked through these areas before they got married they might have realised where the potential pitfalls lay. The aim of the book is to prevent engaged couples from becoming another divorce statistic by helping them to learn more about themselves, each other and their relationship, and to actually plan their marriage journey together so they can overcome any potential obstacle that might come their way. This book has two card decks, one physical, the other in an app, Deckible, which give you a pocket size version of the questions. On the website, there is also a number of quizzes and courses that you can access. website address https://www.suepalmerconn.com email [email protected]
