Happily Ever After (or at Least Darn Close)

To paraphrase Tolstoy, all marriages are alike, but each unhappy marriage is different in its own way.

A follow-up to Canadian journalist Stephen Marche’s brutally honest deep dive into the challenges of parenting — How Not to F*ck Up Your Kids Too Bad — HNTFUYMTB turns its research and critical lens to other fertile familial ground: the union of two souls, till death (or divorce) do them part.

The popular saying is, first comes love, then comes marriage. But all too often, baby carriage or no, the next “then” is divorce. Author Jed Diamond says that’s because people don’t find their way from the “disillusionment” phase of coupledom into the stage of real, lasting love. He also has a great sense of humor. We'll be borrowing, and frequently employing, his term “menopause” from this day forward.

You might think you can’t handle the truth, but this short listen from Thought Catalog would argue that if you want your relationship to survive, brutal honesty is the only way forward. Fortunately, narrator Samantha Prescott’s human approach to bringing this piece to life makes its “come to Jesus” aspect feel like you’re sitting with a good friend who’s ready to tell you like it is, albeit it with a side of empathy.

The subtitle of this one says it all. Really, sometimes the secret to staying together is a hefty sense of humor — and a lack of wherewithal to leave your partner. And Erma Bombeck would have known. The legendary humorist wrote this one from the perspective of 43 years of marriage (yes, to the same man).
