A hilarious and ultimately moving memoir of one couple's reliance on complaining, co-dependence, and a healthy supply of Pinot Noir to keep their marriage and sanity intact.

This is NOT a self-help book about marriage. It's one couple's humorous approach to marriage and family and whether or not they succeed is pretty much up to chance. For me it was refreshing to hear an honest, straightforward (if somewhat exaggerated for the sake of silliness) account of making marriage work. And man, does it seem like work for these two! Great fun. ( )

Riotous R and X rated fun. Unlike any marriage manual or marital aid I've ever encountered. A male comedian goes to a party and sees another comedian, female, frying latkes (potato pancakes) on the stove and falls in love. She's married. He pursues her for years. She divorces and becomes his next door neighbor. Still nothing happens. The years pass and she finally is ready to fall in love back. They marry and they are completely different, totally incompatible, and arguing fiercely. They have a child, a son born with multiple handicaps. They find a surgeon who is able to give their son a normal life. They STILL argue. They stay together, at least for for the time being. They tell their story as a "he said, she said". He's the romantic. She'd make anyone insane. It works. They advise you. You ignore their advice and focus on the comedy. You laugh through the entire book and keep your spouse awake long into the night, sharing tidbits. I heard there's a staged play of the book. I'm on Google looking for tickets. They are Jeff Kahn and Annabelle Gurwitch. You don't want to miss a page. ( )

Is your marriage perfect? No? Well, neither is theirs. He is a total romantic, she can't remember an anniversary to save her life. She is neurotic and messy and has "outrageous" demands on her family (like limiting tv time). He is more laid back, but a little bit of a neatnik.

Written from husband and wife perspective. This book gives me hope that even though prince charming isn't out there, you can make love work with a couple of imperfect people. A good read. ( )

The vast majority of books I’ve read about marriage are Christian. “Put Jesus at the center of your marriage.” “Don’t let your past dictate your present.” “Be selfless.”

This is not that book.

It was, however, very funny. I was actually laughing out loud at some points. (“My ass was expanding so fast it was like a Starbucks franchise. On every corner of my ass there was a new branch of ass opening up.”) Both Gurwitch and Kahn have written and performed comedy, so this was actually the perfect book for them to write together. It also had a handful of tender moments, especially with their son.

Their relationship felt more real than those in many other books — they detail the craziest things about themselves and each other, no holds barred. Some of these things are incredibly…intimate. I would type some of them here, but I don’t want my blog to come up when certain terms are searched in Google. I’ll just say that you learn A LOT about the two of them.

I can’t imagine my husband (should I have one) revealing so many details about my life to the world. I would just feel awful about him and myself once it was published. I hope their marriage continues to survive and thrive even with all the dirty laundry they aired. If it was me (and even if I agreed with my husband to write a book of this sort), I think my resentment over it would grow — and it wouldn’t be pretty. But that’s why I’m not the one writing this book!

"The State of the Union is, of course, the progress report delivered by our presidents annually to the joint houses of Congress. It's also a 1948 Frank Capra movie about politics in which Katharine Hepburn poses and Spencer Tracy's wife in order to help him get into elected office. In real life, Hepburn and Tracy were romanticaly involved for twenty-seven years, a pairing that many people regard as one of the great romances of contemporary times, even though he was married to someone else, drunk for much of that time, and never acknowledged their love affair puicly. If they were alive today, their Facebook status would be "It's complicated."

It's funny parts like the above that make the book worthwhile. ( )
