52 Fights A Newlywed's Confession

Marriage: One Year, Fifty-Two Fights Week 1 "This house? With the pink-and-purple striped wallpaper? The one that cries out for a miniature poodle?" He wants me to be this kind of wife? I'm not sure I signed on for that! Week 9 "Okay, honey, let's look at those carpet samples." "I was tired: I'll get to them tomorrow." "But you said you'd do it today." Now I'm going to have to account for every minute? And apologize? Week 17 "But you said you didn't want to go." "I didn't want to come meet you for one beer with your friends-now it's midnight. Where were you?" Wait-his friends are more fun to be with than his wife? And what happened to his cell phone? Newlyweds Jennifer and Matt really love each other. But who knew that in his family Saturdays were for tackling chores, while in her family Saturdays were for sleeping late? Now, two nice people from nice families are finding out they do everything differently-and suddenly, they're in the ring with gloves on! Week by week, the fights take both of them by surprise-they never meant to be the kind of couple that acts this way. Week by week, though, Jennifer and Matt are building something strong, knocking down old walls of habit and assumption, and finding underneath the true, strong foundation of a love that will see them through. This is one year in a marriage-the beginning of a lifetime.Patterson, Jennifer Jeanne is the author of '52 Fights A Newlywed's Confession', published 0012 under ISBN 9780425202548 and ISBN 0425202542.
