And body language is often more revealing and truthful than content, especially in divulging what other people are really thinking. But how do you follow that second conversation?

Marriage, a History: From Obedience to Intimacy, or How Love Conquered Marriage

Stephanie Coontz

Marriage has changed more in the last thirty years than in the previous five thousand, and few of the old "rules" for marriage still apply. In the courts, the op-ed pieces, and at the dinner table, battles rage over what marriage means, why people do it, and who can do it. Marriage, a History is the one book you need to understand not only the vicissitudes of modern marriage but also gay marriage, "living together" and divorce. Stephanie Coontz shatters dozens of myths about the past and future of married life and shows us why marriage, though more fragile today, can be more rewarding than ever before. => http://bit.ly/IzWlQW
