"Without a Man, I Would Be Happily Married" is an entertaining book about love, marriage, and the ups and downs that come with both. Following her major bestseller successes "I Remember Myself Younger" and "I Want to Stay as I Was," which focused on aging, Monika Bittl now turns her attention to couple relationships. In wonderfully entertaining everyday stories, she highlights the lovable as well as absurd aspects that come with married life. She delves into the question of whether the more common reason for divorce is an affair or the partner's perpetually lying dirty socks, and seeks the formula for a fulfilling, long-lasting marriage.
