A Marriage Made in Heaven

Or, Too Tired for an Affair

De: Erma Bombeck

Narrado por: C. M. Hebert

“I now pronounce you husband and wife.” There are few phrases as sobering, with the possible exceptions of “We have lift-off” and “This country is at war.” Yet, as they have done for centuries, millions of courageous men and women continue to walk down the aisle every year, without so much as a job description. Now, in her most autobiographical book, Erma Bombeck puts it all in loving and laughing perspective, as she looks back on her own 43-year-but-who’s-counting marriage.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Bombeck…is in top form here, detonating snappy one-liners throughout this account of her 40-plus years of marriage.” ( Kirkus Reviews)

A wonderful story teller

I hadn't read an Erma Bombeck book in years! Although I was younger by a number of years, I had so many similar memories of the 70's and 80's; such a contrast to our lives today. What a delightful story!

Such reality

I love the way she takes everyday stresses to bring out the humor. This book is a must read

If you love Erma...

you will love this. I watched her everyday for years. I read her column. Her book, Love Erma ia fantastic. The narrator has done a beautiful job sounding like the real. May Erma rest in peace and continue to keep us laughing. Her wit is unmistakably marvelous.

One of the best books written ever

If you love to laugh about all the hills and valleys of marriage and family life I highly recommend this book period Erma Bombeck just has a way of making everything, everything funny. Even the saddest of times can be looked at humorously through her eyes and voice. Best book ever.

Great Observational Humor

I adore Erma Bombeck’s observational humor. This book covers marriage from the wedding to having children. Yes, some happenings are dated but they all still ring true.

Funny and right on target with the wisdom

Erma's humor

Once again Erma bombeck does not disappoint I was in stitches more than one time. She was able to take some of the most sensitive subjects and add humor to them. Reminding us all not to take things too seriously.

Delightfully poignant

I’m 41, married 15 years with 6 kids.
The touching way the author addresses both the good and way of marriage was refreshing & honest. Definitely recommend.

Erma Bombeck

This was my second time reading A Marriage Made in Heaven. The book is a story of life, told with Erma Bombeck's sense of humor. It was well written and narrated well.
