The Truth of Marriage
I've only read the first 3 chapters of this book and I love it! It is so informative and makes you look at marriage in a new light. Conservatives might find it's descriptions startling but its only telling the truth. I brought the book for a sociology class, but I definitely plan on keeping it.
