About this listen

 "Allison Raskin’s bookunpacks the questions and uncertainties around marriage that so many of us have... a must-read for anyone and everyone that may be curious about the intricacies of modern marriage.” –Nick Viall, TV Personality, Host of The Viall Files, and Bestselling Author

From Just Between Us cohost and bestselling author Allison Raskin comes a witty, incisive take on modern marriage and how a new generation can navigate its uncertainties and questions.

Marriage rates may be on the decline, but that doesn’t mean marriage is disappearing from society. In fact, as modern relationship norms and structures continue to evolve, the public discourse about marriage has never been louder—or more conflicted. Divorce rates, the appeal of cohabitation, seemingly infinite options for future partners, the patriarchal roots of marriage and gender roles, and economic uncertainty are just a few factors that leave a new generation of single and dating adults wondering. What does marriage even look like now? Why do people still do it? And, most importantly, is it “for me”?

With conversational wit and compassion, bestselling author Allison Raskin draws on new research, interviews with licensed experts, and the stories of real-life couples to break down the many pieces of today’s “marriage conversation”—and to make the leap of faith a little less scary for Gen Z and millennial adults like herself. What emerges is a thoughtful investigation into our cultural assumptions about commitment, compatibility, divorce, meaningful partnership, the future of marriage—and what it really means to join your bank accounts.

After reading this book, I have so much more understanding about what marriage means to me and I’ve come away appreciating my marriage even more than before!

When I got married, I don’t think I thought enough about what marriage actually meant and what I was committing to. I mostly wanted to call my girlfriend my wife, and I wanted a steady foundation to start a family, but beyond that I didn’t really appreciate all the other aspects of marriage.

This book put into words a lot of really great aspects of marriage and how to nurture it like it’s a precious thing to take care of. I now have a much greater appreciation for my marriage with my wife, plus a load of tools at my disposal, to use when times get tough!

I kind of wish I could have got married after reading this book, so the day would have been even more special to me haha

Thanks Allison for the great book! :)

I wish I’d read this book before I got married!

The cadence of Allison Raskin’s writing (and narrating) is, as always, addictively captivating. She is funny and inviting in her discussion of the wide variety of ways to be married, depending on the people and circumstances of the marriage. A key takeaway is that marriage is what you make of it, and I found that to be a comforting notion.

Facts aren’t boring if Allison shares them
