Publisher's Synopsis
Americas high divorce rate is well known, but little attention is paid to the flip side: couples who build marriages that last longer than we ever thought possible. Whats the secret? To find out, Iris Krasnow interviewed more than two hundred wives whose marriages have survived for fifteen to seventy years. They are a diverse cast but share one significant trait: they have made bold, sometimes secretive choices on how to keep their marital vows, till death do us part, as Krasnow says, without killing someone first.
