Marriageology: The Art and Science of Staying Together Audiobook (Free)

A smart and concise instruction to staying jointly that draws about scientific findings, professional advice, and years in the marital trenches to describe why marriage is better for your wellbeing, your finances, your kids, and your happiness

Like you, probably, Belinda Luscombe would rather have had her eyes put out than browse a publication about marriage; each of them seemed full of suggestions that was apparent, useless, or bad. Plus they were boring. But after covering the relationship beat for Time magazine for ten years, about Marriageology: The Art and Technology of Staying Jointly she realized there is a surprisingly upbeat and little-known tale to tell about the advantages of remaining together for the long term. Casting a witty, candid, and probing attention on the most recent behavioral technology, Luscombe has written a brand new and persuasive report on the state of our unions, how they’ve transformed from the relationships of our parents’ era, and what those changes mean for the joy of the most personal and essential of our interactions.

In Marriageology Luscombe examines the six major fault lines that may fracture contemporary marriages, also known as the F-words: familiarity, fighting, finances, family, fooling around, and obtaining help. She presents information, debunks myths, and a fascinating mix of analysis, anecdotes, and wisdom from an array of approaches-from how properly dividing up chores can lead to a better sex existence to the advantages of fighting together with your spouse (though not in the car) to whether or not to tell your partner that you dropped $70,000. (The last you are from firsthand knowledge.)

Marriageology offers basic, actionable, maybe even borderline fun techniques and ideas to try, if the relationship involved is about to conk out or simply needs a little grease and an essential oil change. The very best news of all can be that sticking collectively is easier than it appears.
