Combining stories and tips collected from couples of all ages with the wise and witty musings of generations of writers who have experienced the same joys and pains - from Shakespeare and Charles Dickens to Nancy Mitford and Groucho Marx - the book offers a collective testimony of what it means to be married, a celebration of centuries of love, laughter, solace and companionship.
