In this lovingly hilarious look at her 44-years-and-counting marriage to a man she wouldn't trade for anything in the world -- who would finish her sentences? -- Erma Bombeck offers observations as only she can, on:

<UL TYPE=DISC><LI>The true test of compatibility: buying a house that "needs work"</UL>

<UL TYPE=DISC><LI>Surviving parenthood, and the nest that won't stay empty</UL>

<UL TYPE=DISC><LI>How times of struggle are a piece of cake compared to handling success</UL>

<UL TYPE=DISC><LI>Elevating guilt to a sacrament</UL>

<UL TYPE=DISC><LI>What to do with a man who saves instruction manuals; thinks a fishing license makes a great anniversary gift; and, thanks to the remote control, has never seen a television commercial</UL>

<UL TYPE=DISC><LI>Frazzled mothers wondering who they have to sleep with to get fired from the job</UL>

<UL TYPE=DISC><LI>Facing maternity, mortality, and metamorphosis together </UL>

This entertaining portrait of an American marriage is Erma Bombeck at her most intimate, and her funniest.
