Famous People Talking About Marriage

Are you happily married? Do you wish you could find your lifelong soulmate? Do you find celebrity marriages inspiring or entertaining? Famous People get married just like the rest of us, but they insist on telling us all about it. Do you think their advice is helpful? Do you believe you can learn from them? Well, this book gathers the best advice from all kinds of celebrities, groups them into an alphabet of advice and fabulous photos and offers a concise primer for how to get engaged and marry for the rest of your life. The famous people range beyond popular celebrities to philosophers and poets, even classic playwrights and gonzo journalists. From Krysten Ritter to Voltaire, Shakespeare to Joss Whedon and Grace Kelly to Nietzsche, the many voices and images advise from the start of recorded history to the latest pop icons. Nothing and everything has changed in the most complex relationship you will ever have - this adventure we call marriage. Love is an emotion. Marriage is a lifelong contract based on love but tempered by daily life and pending disasters. Bonds of marriage are just that: restraints and laws that bind two people together within the accepted norms of the society where they live. Thus, you see in our A-Z list words like Knot - a bondage tying you together, Oath - a solemn declaration of devotion and Quarrel - the escalation of two people's conversation towards mutual understanding. If you are married now, considering a leap of faith or are looking back at an earlier time, the healthy relationship advice in this book will enlighten, amuse and guide you through the long and winding road we call the bonds of marriage. Unlike the first two books about love and sex, this volume reflects the complex and mysterious challenge of a legal, loving and eternal union of two brave and optimistic strangers. As the great Shakespearian actor Sir Donald Wolfit remarked about playing the bard's many tragedies, "dying is easy; comedy is hard". The same is true of relationships: "love is easy, marriage is hard".
