After thirty years together, Cokie and Steve Roberts know something about long-lasting marriage and after thirty distinguished years in journalism, they know how to write about it. In this insightful nonfiction book on marriage, From This Day Forward, Cokie and Steve weave their personal stories of matrimony into a wider reflection on the state of marriage in America today.
Here they write with the same conversational style that catapulted Cokie's We Are Our Mother's Daughters to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. They ruminate on their early worries about their different faiths in a candid exploration of their interfaith marriage--she's Catholic, he's Jewish--and describe their wedding day at Cokie's childhood home. They discuss the universal struggle of balancing career and family, and how they compromise when they disagree. They also tell the stories of other American marriages: that of John and Abigail Adams, and those pioneers, slaves and immigrants. They offer stories of broken marriages as well, of contemporary families living through the "divorce revolution". Taken together, these tales reveal the special nature of the wedding bond in America. Wise and funny, this book is more than an endearing chronicle of a loving marriage--it is an inspirational love story for all husbands and wives, and how they support and strengthen each other.
In this candid dual memoir, Cokie and Steve Roberts share stories of love, partnership, and American history:
- A Journalists' Memoir: The celebrated careers of Cokie and Steve Roberts provide the backdrop for their personal story, told with the warmth and insight that has made them household names.
- A Catholic-Jewish Partnership: An honest look at how they navigated their different faiths, from early worries to raising a family, offering a heartfelt perspective on a mixed-faith relationship.
- Marriage in American History: Fascinating stories of other American marriages--from John and Abigail Adams to pioneers and immigrants--that reveal the unique nature of the wedding bond in America.
- Commitment and Compromise: A candid discussion of the real-world struggles, from balancing two demanding careers to raising children, and the compromises that strengthen a decades-long partnership.
