Description
The Truth About Marriage by Roger Nygard follows three couples several years after their weddings while asking why some relationships break down and what helps others last. Drawing on humor, expert commentary, and real-life relationship strain, it moves past romance clichés into conflict, expectations, attraction, and the habits that sustain or erode partnership over time. Nygard keeps the tone light, but the structure stays anchored in these couples’ lived experience rather than in a broad, abstract survey of marriage.
