What Do You Do When the Wine Wears Off?

When two people fall in love, there is one thing they never expect-disappointment. They never expect the feelings of romantic attraction to fade. They never see the signs of obvious incompatibility. They are blind. They are in love. Like inebriated celebrants fumbling for the keys to a new car, they must be stopped or this will not end well.

That, my friend, is the purpose of this book. It is a stopgap. It is a last-ditch effort to get you to date with discipline, to court with common sense. It is both autobiographical and sobering. Being a memoir of my marriage, it is the catharsis that kept me from giving up. The painful revelation that love has a counterfeit, it is the knowledge I wish I'd known.
