Cokie Roberts & Steven V. Roberts 
From This Day Forward [EPUB ebook] 

After thirty years together, Cokie and Steve Roberts know something about marriage and after thirty distinguished years in journalism, they know how to write about it. In From This Day Forward, Cokie and Steve weave their personal stories of matrimony into a wider reflection on the state of marriage in America today.Here they write with the same conversational style that catapulted Cokie’s We Are Our Mother’s Daughtersto the top of the New York Timesbestseller list. They ruminate on their early worries about their different faithsshe’s Catholic, he’s Jewishand describe their wedding day at Cokie’s childhood home. They discuss the struggle to balance careers and parenthood, and how they compromise when they disagree. They also tell the stories of other American marriages: that of John and Abigail Adams, and those pioneers, slaves and immigrants. They offer stories of broken marriages as well, of contemporary families living through the "divorce revolution". Taken together, these tales reveal the special nature of the wedding bond in America. Wise and funny, this book is more than an endearing chronicle of a loving marriageit is a story of all husbands and wives, and how they support and strengthen each other.
