Conversations About Modern Marriage

De: Allison Raskin

Narrado por: Allison Raskin

"Allison Raskin’s book unpacks the questions and uncertainties around marriage that so many of us have... a must-read for anyone and everyone that may be curious about the intricacies of modern marriage.” –Nick Viall, TV Personality, Host of The Viall Files, and Bestselling Author

From Just Between Us cohost and bestselling author Allison Raskin comes a witty, incisive take on modern marriage and how a new generation can navigate its uncertainties and questions.

Marriage rates may be on the decline, but that doesn’t mean marriage is disappearing from society. In fact, as modern relationship norms and structures continue to evolve, the public discourse about marriage has never been louder—or more conflicted. Divorce rates, the appeal of cohabitation, seemingly infinite options for future partners, the patriarchal roots of marriage and gender roles, and economic uncertainty are just a few factors that leave a new generation of single and dating adults wondering. What does marriage even look like now? Why do people still do it? And, most importantly, is it “for me”?

With conversational wit and compassion, bestselling author Allison Raskin draws on new research, interviews with licensed experts, and the stories of real-life couples to break down the many pieces of today’s “marriage conversation”—and to make the leap of faith a little less scary for Gen Z and millennial adults like herself. What emerges is a thoughtful investigation into our cultural assumptions about commitment, compatibility, divorce, meaningful partnership, the future of marriage—and what it really means to join your bank accounts.

History of marriage

It’s more a book about the history of marriage rather than a self help! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Also, we love an inclusive queen. Allison always does a great job at being inclusive.

entretenido pero reflexivo

llevo muchos años escuchando a Allison en Youtube y en su podcast, siguiendo también su vida y creciendo con ella. así, tengo claro lo importante que es el matrimonio para ella y lo mucho que ha reflexionado al respecto, y se nota que está es la consolidación de esas reflexiones. con su tono gracioso y astuto, plantea muchos temas relevantes en torno al matrimonio, como nos identificamos como personas y que vida construimos junto a un otro. cómo persona que está comprometida y se casa el próximo año, me ha servido mucho para pensar en temas y preguntas que no me había hecho (y con las cuales voy a acosar a mi novio).

Allison Knocks Kills It Again!

I love everything Allison Raskin does, but this was an excellent examination of love, relationship, and commitment that I really needed to hear (especially as I enter a new relationship and also my 30s). Allison’s voice has truly become such a comfort to me. I am certain this will be a book I come back to again.

Informative view on modern marriage

Well-narrated and well-written from the author; will help most anyone, partnered or single, understand the history of marriage and how it functions today

Accessible and Enjoyable take on modern marriage

I DO (I THINK) written and narrated by Allison Raskin is an accessible approach to the history, psychology, and more of modern marriage. As an avid fan of Allison’s podcast, JBU, I knew the audiobook format was for me, even if this isn’t a topic I typically would pick up a book about. Allison delivers a relatable and honest approach, reflecting on her own experiences, and interviewing relationship experts and real world couples.
