Married Men Die First

Book excerpt: Statistics show that, on average, married men kick the bucket five years before being joined by their loving wives and embarking on an eternity full of conversations, like in their marriage, about feelings. Combining whimsical humor with practical scientific theory, “Married Men Die First: A Blessing,” casually encounters a diverse range of topics and stories in establishing a surprising amount of support for the titled theory. The Illogical thoughts, uncontrollable emotions, and insane behavior that are the foundation of modern marriage and the slow killer of all married men are showcased through historical events, unbelievable but true stories, and eye witness accounts. From men preferring a cellmate over their wife to women who have forgotten more ways to kill with butter than any inmate has ever known, the tales examined are nothing more than others acting out the type of thoughts we've all let creep into our minds at least a few times during marriage. These accounts are combined with author commentary and sub-hypotheses that creatively connect dots that make the outlandish seem practical, and the practical, well, something that died with, “I do.”While the tidbits, stories, history and statistics link together to support the book's overarching theory, it is the exploration into the intricacies of the thoughts, feelings, and resulting actions of those in love that will have the reader cracking the guiltiest of smiles. This humorously insightful look into marriage is topped off with the introduction of a practical new approach to the joining of unions that will change the way you think about marriage, and make you wish you had the balls to broach the subject with your spouse.
