The Story of a Brief Marriage: A Novel by Anuk Arudpragasam Or if you think you never want to get married but are still wondering what all the fuss is about. Here are 16 books to read before you get married. And as a pair of book-lovers ourselves, we called upon some of the greatest love stories of all time to inspire us, to guide us, and even to offer us some examples of what not to do. Until I dove in headfirst, that is, and realized marriage (for better or for worse) could be just about anything my partner and I were willing to make it.
I knew it was probably about a whole lot more than the hair, dress, and flowers - but what that “whole lot more” was beyond buzzwords like “commitment,” “forgiveness,” and “joint-checking account” was all a little fuzzy to me. I’ll be honest, I had literally no idea what I was getting myself into when I got married. From novels and memoirs about the good and the not-always-so-good about “until death do we part,” to nonfiction titles filled with tips and tricks to help you on your wedded way, these books about marriage act like a book-loving bride’s (and groom’s) crash course in the art of everything that comes after “I do.” After all, how many things have you done perfectly on the very first try? But that’s where these books to read before you get married come in. Let me start by telling you one thing nobody is going to tell you about marriage - you might not be terribly good at it, at least in the beginning.
