A new topic for us today. We\'re talking about marriage. I\'m obsessed with this topic. I wrote a book, When She Make More, about female breadwinners in modern day relationships. When you think about marital advice in this country, it typically centers around pre-marital advice and then advice on how to deal with divorce.

But what about the years in between?

Marriage is wonderful but it\'s also hard, and the more prepared you and your partner can be for the challenges - from your money differences to raising children to taking care of aging parents -\\xa0 the less likely it is that you\'ll need to read that article about how to survive your divorce, right?

Our guest today is Jo Piazza, a prolific writer and author whose recent book is part-memoir, part-investigation on the topic of marriage. The book is called: How to Be Married: What I Learned from Real Women on Five Continents About Surviving My First (Really Hard) Year of Marriage. In the book, Jo shares a framework to help the rest of us keep our marriages strong, from your engagement into the newlywed years and beyond.

More about Jo: She\'s an award-winning journalist who\'s written for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, New York Daily News, New York Magazine, Elle and many others. Her novel, Knockoff, became an international bestseller and she\'s also the author of the critically acclaimed If Nuns Ruled the World and Celebrity Inc. How Famous People Make Money.
