A guide to staying together that combines the latest scientific data, personal stories, and expert advice, arguing that marriage is better for your health, your finances, and your happiness, by an award-winning Time journalist.

Surveying the latest behavioral science and folding it into her witty, engaging, and candid knack for storytelling, Belinda Luscombe has written a fresh and persuasive report on the state of our unions. This book examines the six major fault lines that can fracture a marriage, also known as Luscombe's F-words- familiarity, fighting, family, finances, fooling around, and finding help. She presents facts, debunks myths, and provides an entertaining mix of data, anecdotes, and wisdom from a wide range of approaches to married life, as well as experts and therapists of the wedding, marriage, and divorce industries. Marriageology gives the reader something to think about and maybe try, whether the marriage in question is on the brink of collapse or just needs a bit of maintenance on the foundations.

Reviews for Marriageology: The Art and Science of Staying Together

I'd recommend this book to anyone who is married. Or thinking of getting married. Or knows anyone who is married. Or who is simply interested in getting along with other human beings. Belinda Luscombe combines science, memoir, and sharp wit in this fascinating and useful book. She takes on myths about everything from soul mates to finance to going to bed angry (her advice: Do it!). Skip the gravy boat and give this as a gift to all your engaged friends. -A. J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically If I could talk about marriage to my wife with the intelligence and humor that Belinda Luscombe does in this book, I'd be having a lot more sex. -Joel Stein, author of Man Made This little book is absolutely delightful. Belinda Luscombe combines what she's learned in ten years of covering relationships for Time, plus behavioral science, research, and real-life stories, to reveal a recipe to enrich your health, finances, kids, and happiness: Marriage! Marriageology is a funny, smart book full of hope and suggestions and surprising discoveries ('fight with your spouse but not in the car'). This is not just for us marrieds but for anyone getting married, thinking about getting married, getting remarried, or raising people who are going to get married. -Jen Hatmaker, bestselling author of Of Mess and Moxie and host of the For the Love podcast Staying together in the age of Tinder is no mean feat. Thank goodness Belinda Luscombe's wise, funny, scientifically rigorous book is here to improve our odds. Henceforth, exiting the chapel, couples should be pelted with copies of Marriageology instead of rice. -Ada Calhoun, author of Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give
