Publisher's Summary

“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.

What the critics say

“Bombeck…is in top form here, detonating snappy one-liners throughout this account of her 40-plus years of marriage.” ( Kirkus Reviews)

Touching

This is a beautiful memoir on marriage, children, grandchildren and just an overall story about the different stages in life. It touched on many emotional topics and had a twist of humour. I loved this book and would recommend it. I now realize why my mother read Erma Bombeck books. She’s a wonderful author and will be reading more of her books.

Excellent dramatization

You feel as if the author Herself is reading do you and that you are sharing her experiences.

A wonderful view into the life of a marriage and her experiences mirror the life and times of us all

Above all it describes the journey that those of us married couples Have gone through
A true celebration of married life which sadly is so unappreciated today and is reflected in the downward spiral of Society

Funny & Insightful

I watched Mrs Bombeck on Good Morning America as a teenager. Her humor about family life made both me and my Mom laugh. I got all her books and we shared laughter over them as well. Mom is gone now, but listening to this book made me feel like I was sharing a laugh with Mom again. “She knows” Mom would say. “Knows what?” “You’ll see.”
