Overview

'This Is How Your Marriage Ends is the book we have been waiting for - an entertaining, honest, and truly practical guide for saving our relationships' - Justin Baldoni, bestselling author of Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity 'Funny and poignant ... a beautiful exposition on partnerships, love, and unpaid labor' - Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play Good people can be bad partners. One night during his divorce, after one too many vodkas and a phone-in-therapist's advice to 'journal his feelings,' Matthew Fray started a blog. On it, he tried to piece together how his ex-wife went from the college freshman who adored him to the angry woman who thought he was an asshole. It turns out that even though he was a decent guy, he was kind of a shitty husband. As he shared raw, uncomfortable and darkly humorous stories about the lessons he'd learned from his failed marriage, Matthew started to gain a following. Then he wrote a post titled 'She Divorced Me Because I left the Dishes by the Sink' - it went viral and was read over four million times. This is How Your Marriage Ends offers immediately actionable advice to help readers identify toxic behaviour patterns in their own lives, and break them out of the cycles of dysfunction that ruin relationships. Good people can be bad partners - this book is how you change that.

Fray said his coaching is about support, motivation and encouragement. I don't think the average guy wearing his college football sweatshirt and drinking canned Bud Light on a Saturday afternoon while his kids play in the backyard and his wife does all the work required to keep a household afloat is going to spend much time reading The Five Love Languages, he said. Fray's disarming personality and the sharing of his own story make people feel like they're not being judged. I'm not preaching from behind a podium or a desk, he said. Instead, I act as a kind of translator. His stark message: Don't end up like me. * The New York Times *
