People keep getting married. Yet over 40% of first marriages end in divorce and up to 67% of second do, too, with statistics becoming predictably more dismal as the number of trips to the altar rack up. It seems like, for many of us, the longing to be half of a couple so in love they make other people want to puke is too strong to ignore. How to Screw Up Your Marriage interrupts the pity party with a no-nonsense formula for couplehood success, written by a human relations expert who is herself in a wonderfully nauseating marriage with a passel of his and hers kids. It makes a wonderful companion book to the author's How to Screw Up Your Kids: Blended Families, Blendered Style, which was the winner of the 2012 USA Best Books Award in Parenting/Family: Divorce. 2nd Place, 2012 Houston Writers Guild Narrative Nonfiction Manuscript Contest.
