Marry Him

Hmm not sure how I feel about this book overall, the tone feels fairly patronizing but I do like several points that it makes:

Love is timing, a verb and a noun

In his book Alone Together, Amato and his cowriter talk about the difference between today’s marriages, which are more individualistic, and the pre-1970s marriages, which he calls "companionate marriages, where you looked for a compatible and reliable partner to help you achieve mutual life goals. "Cooperative teamwork was the definition of a good marriage," Amato said. But now the focus has shifted to personal satisfaction through the marital relationship itself.

"One school of thought is, the increased divorce rate is because our culture became more individualistic and our expectations for marriage changed- it became a therapeutic relationship instead of a practical relationship.
