Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give Audiobook (Free)

Inspired by her wildly well-known New York Times essay THE MARRIAGE Toast I’ll Never Provide, Ada Calhoun offers a funny (however, not turn), smart (however, not smug) undertake the institution of marriage. Weaving personal occasions from her personal marriage with frank insight from specialists, clergy, and friends, she upends anticipations of total marital bliss to provide a realistic-but ultimately optimistic-portrait of what marriage is really like. You will see fights, there will be existential angst, there could even be affairs; occasionally you’ll look at the person you like and feel nothing but rage. Despite everything, Calhoun contends, keeping married is simple: just do not get divorced.

Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Provide offers bracing straight talk towards the newly married and honors those who have weathered the surprise. This exploration of modern marriage is at once sensible and entertaining, a function of unexpected candor and literary elegance.
