Publisher 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 43-year-but-who's-counting marriage.

"Finished this book en route to Wichita Falls, TX, Target on New Year's Eve with my mom and sister. The end section with tributes to Erma was touching. I think all bloggers should read Erma, because she was doing it right before the format was even invented! "

    " Some very funny excerpts on raising children! I wasn't a huge fan of the humor dealing with marriage, just didn't get me rolling like some of the other entries. "

    " Just finished this. I'm sorry this smart, funny lady is no longer with us. There's a bit of old-fashioned-ness about her, but I like the way she cherishes the simple joys of life. This was a nice feel-good, lol read for this time of year. Thanks, Erma. "

    " Gotta love Erma. She's quite the author, mother. I love her style of writing. Most mothers can relate to her many adventures of parenthood. She is really funny. "

    " I actually only made it a third of the way through, before I was bored enough to take it back to the library. I just couldn't relate, which made the "comic" uncomical. "

    " Saw this at a book sale and thought "why not". So glad I read it - I can appreciate her insights so much more since being married and having children. Very common sense, humorous approach on the chaos of every day life. "

    " Fun. Some of her best stuff. Also a tribute to her. She never tried to cut in line for organ transplant because she was a celebrity. Touching forward by her husband. "
