About this listen

How Not to F*ck Up Your Marriage Too Bad is the frank, intimate and provocative follow-up to the 2018 Audible Original How Not to F*ck Up Your Kids Too Bad, exploring the equally thorny and confusing world of marriage.

In each episode author and columnist Stephen Marche goes on a journey to answer a question that everyone in a marriage or long term relationship faces at some point. They're the very real problems he faces himself.

Should we schedule sex? How do we stop fighting? How do we live together? Can marriage survive death?

From infidelity to divorce, modern marriages are messy and there aren't always simple or happy answers. This series makes sense of the messiness.
