what i'm reading now


September Songs - The Bonus Years of Marriage by Maggie Scarf is a book about how marriage has changed over the twentieth century. Longer life spans require that married couples adjust to their own and their partner's needs during the "bonus years" that have been added to the average marriage. It's interesting to find that most of the couples interviewed in the book report greater satisfaction and fulfillment in their relationships than when they were younger.
