A Marriage Made in Heaven Or Too Tired for an Affair
Author: Erma Bombeck
In this lovingly hilarious look at her 44-years-and-counting marriage to a man she wouldn't trade for anything in the world -- who would finish her sentences? -- Erma Bombeck offers observations as only she can, on:

  • How times of struggle are a piece of cake compared to handling success
  • Elevating guilt to a sacrament
  • What to do with a man who saves instruction manuals; thinks a fishing license makes a great anniversary gift; and, thanks to the remote control, has never seen a television commercial
  • Frazzled mothers wondering who they have to sleep with to get fired from the job
  • Facing maternity, mortality, and metamorphosis together
This entertaining portrait of an American marriage is Erma Bombeck at her most intimate, and her funniest.

I was a young wife/mom during the heyday of Bombeck's career and always enjoyed her humor. It's interesting to see how her subect matter changed and her style mellowed as she aged. The humor in this one is more gentle, and the chapter near the end about becoming your mother's Mom is really touching. (Readers who've been through the process will understand.)

No picture of the husband in the book. He's outlived her by 16 years, so far.
