About this listen

“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.

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!

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.

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.
