Download Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage AudioBook Free
By the end of her best-selling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who'd been surviving in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in the us, the couple swore eternal fidelity to one another, but also swore never to, ever, under any circumstances get lawfully hitched. (Both were survivors of past bad divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened 1 day in the form of america federal, which - after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American boundary crossing - offered the couple an option: they could either get hitched, or Felipe could not be allowed to enter the united states again. Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her worries of marriage by delving into this subject completely, trying with all her might to discover through historical research, interviews, and far personal representation what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. Told with Gilbert's brand wit, intelligence and compassion, Committed attempts to "turn on all the lights" when it comes to matrimony, honestly evaluating questions of compatibility, infatuation, fidelity, family traditions, social expectations, divorce dangers, and humbling tasks. Gilbert's memoir is in the end a clear-eyed party of love with all the current complexity and effect that real love, in real life, actually entails.
