Surrendering to Marriage: Husbands, Wives, and Other Imperfections

by Iris Krasnow

Overview

In the New York Times best-seller Surrendering to Marriage, Iris Krasnow offers a raw and penetrating portrait of modern marriage and the backbreaking work required to make it last. With joyous, sexy, and shocking stories of real marriages, real affairs, and real divorces, Surrendering to Marriage moves far beyond a how-to manual; Krasnow shows us that a successful marriage has less to do with bursts of bliss, and everything to do with embracing the ordinary in our day-to-day relationships.

Editorial Reviews

Krasnow writes with passion, elegance and humor about the satisfaction and ultimate joy of knuckling down to the gritty work of sustaining a marriage.

Denver Post

One book, The Rules for Marriage, will get a lot of attention. But the other, Surrendering to Marriage, is the one to read.

Time Magazine

Krasnow acknowledges all the temptations, all the pain, and still shows us that the long, gray corridors of our daily lives are in fact blessed places where we can, if we try, find our true happiness.

O The Oprah Magazine

Krasnow does get to something that the other discontented-wives books don't; that marriage does not provide happiness, though it can often provide an environment in which to experience happiness.

New Yorker Magazine

Surrendering to Marriage is contrary to the "yes, dear" approach touted in the similarly titled The Surrendered Wife.
