About this title

Review:

"[An] engrossing investigation into enduring marriage...unexpectedly candid"
-The New York Times Book Review
"Scarf is good...a probing but tactful questioner, an active listener, and even, on occasion, a quasi-therapist."
-The Washington Post
"A journalistic book...the clearest message, both from the research and the couples, is upbeat."
-The Economist
"Scarf wonderfully captures those insights that give meaning and joy to life even as the clock ticks."
-Jerome Groopman, M.D., author of How Doctors Think
