Book Description:
A candid and clever portrait of a young woman's first year of married life

Week 1: "You want this house? With the pink-and-purple striped wallpaper?"

Week 9: "But you said you'd do it today..."

Week 17: "You couldn't have called?"

Newlyweds Jennifer and Matt really love each other. They never lived together before they were married-and so both were shocked to learn all the little things that go with living with one's spouse. Who knew that in his family, Saturdays were for tackling chores, while in her family Saturdays were for sleeping late? Now, two nice people from nice families are finding out that they do everything differently-and suddenly, they're in the ring with gloves on!

Week by week, the fights take both of them by surprise-they never meant to be the kind of couple that acts this way. Simultaneously, though, Jennifer and Matt are building something strong, knocking down old walls of habit and finding the strong foundation of a love that will see them through...in a delightful memoir of a knock-down, drag-out first year of marriage.

Fun, light read. I could relate to a lot of it as a newlywed myself, and appreciated how the author turned everything into a learning experience rather than being "down" on marriage. Sometimes it was a little trite, but overall an enjoyable read.

I really related to this book! Not a page-turner, though.

I thought this was a really good book. Yes, it can be trite in places and it isn't exciting, but it contains a lot of wisdom and some humor. Reading the last page, I felt that the author and her husband have what it takes to build a good marriage: "...you don't need the perfect love or the perfect person when you walk down the aisle. What you need is the right material with which to work." Character is everything.
