There is a word for the fear of spiders, but none for knowing your partner's inner weather before a single word is said. The Uncoined Dictionary of Marriage fixes that - and hundreds of other gaps in the language of loving the same person for years.
Wendell Quillfeather names the small print of married life: the answering sigh, the shared flinch as the joint account drops, the wordless reading of a partner's whole day. For each he invents a word and defines it, deadpan, with great tenderness.

Funny enough to give and warm enough to keep - a perfect anniversary, wedding, or Valentine's gift for the long-married and the newly-wed alike.
