Description
"I now pronounce you husband and wife." There are few phrases as sobering, with the possible exceptions of "We have lift-off" and "This country is at war." Yet, as they have done for centuries, millions of courageous men and women continue to walk down the aisle every year, without so much as a job description. Now, in her most autobiographical book, Erma Bombeck puts it all in loving and laughing perspective, as she looks back on her own forty-three-year-but-who's-counting marriage.
User reviews
LibraryThing member BookAngel_a
Classic, heartwarming, humorous Erma Bombeck. Ya gotta love this woman. My favorite part is when she announced she was getting married and her aunt 'crocheted herself to death.'
LibraryThing member wyvernfriend
Erma Bombeck has a unique way of looking at life and of writing about it. She shines through the pages as being a person who can take the sickness with the health and tries her damndest to see the funny in something that could fill you with despair. While many of the stories are laugh-out-loud
I would recommend it.

funny they also induced a wry smile occasionally and when she spoke about her miscarriages I nearly cried. What she doesn't mention sometimes is almost as important as what she does mention.I would recommend it.

In her trademark way, Erma Bombeck deftly combines both humor and poignancy into an autobiographical story of her married life.
LibraryThing member ChrisWeir
Not as funny as some of her other books but still a good read overall. Erma talks about her life and marriage. Things she wants to change about her husband, wanting children and then having them also wanting her kids to get married.
