No one talks about the dark side of marriage. Take the death fantasy—the heart attack or the aneurysm many a husband or wife has wished on his or her spouse. Or, take the lack of sexual interest, the wives who dread their husband’s touch and who wish, hope and pray that, for the love of God, he won’t want to get busy tonight, tomorrow night, ...or ever. And then there’s the mental preoccupation with who will get what pieces of furniture if the marriage does not last. People just don’t talk about these things. Until now. In Project: Happily Ever After Alisa Bowman bravely tells the story of how she went from wishing her husband dead to renewing her wedding vows. Her four-month project was a last ditch effort to save a marriage that many—her friends, her colleagues and even her own mother—had written off as hopeless. It’s a fearlessly honest account of all of the topics that unhappily married people and the counselors who try to help them are too scared and guilt-ridden to discuss. From dry spells to bikini waxes, romance instruction manuals to second honeymoons, the silent treatment to power struggles, she goes where many marriage improvement experts have feared to tread. Equal parts funny, poignant, and helpful, the book offers other divorce daydreamers courage and hope—as well as a 10-step plan they can follow to start their own marriage projects at home. In the first marital improvement book written from the perspective of a recovering divorce daydreamer, it tells an inspiring story coupled with straightforward, prescriptive guidance. Readers will laugh, cry, and, for once, feel oh so normal. And then they will save their marriages, too. Alisa Bowman is the marriage expert for every woman. She writes the popular marriage blog ProjectHappilyEverAfter.com. And Divas, we get her to our very own on Wednesday, January 19th. Mark your calendars and plan to attend live. Alisa will be giving away a complimentary copy of her to one of our listeners.
