<DIV>If half of all cars bought in America each year broke down, there would be a national uproar. But when people suggest that maybe every single marriage doesn’t look like the next and isn’t meant to last until death, there’s nothing but a rash of proposed laws trying to force it to do just that.<BR><BR>In <I>The New I Do</I>, therapist Susan Pease Gadoua and journalist Vicki Larson take a groundbreaking look at the modern shape of marriage to help readers open their minds to marrying more consciously and creatively. Offering actual models of less-traditional marriages, including everything from a parenting marriage (intended for the sake of raising and nurturing children) to a comfort or safety marriage (where people marry for financial security or companionship), the book covers unique options for couples interested in forging their own paths.<BR><BR>With advice and quizzes to help readers decide what works for them, <I>The New I Do</I> acts as a guide to thinking outside the marital box and the framework for a new debate on marriage in the 21st century.</DIV>
