Marriage, for Equals: The Successful Joint (Ad)Ventures of Well-Educated Couples
pulls back the curtain on a number of dangerously misleading messages promoted in
the media and popular press that encourage us to commit to ticking-time-bomb
relationships. In addition to revealing the telltale signs of doomed relationships, this
book also describes a form of marriage that is highly successful and deeply rewarding
to many of the smartest women in this generation. To profile these relationships,
Marriage for Equals draws from a poll of more than 1200 women, mostly Harvard
graduates and their equally capable friends, who are working to create truly equal
partnerships.
The end result is a guidebook to a marriage of equals that offers a blunt, bold, and
refreshingly truthful approach about what it takes to create and sustain an exceptional
partnership.
"With a combination of research, clinical insight, and plain good sense, author Shauna
Springer sorts out the state of romantic love today, bursting more than a few myths in the
process. For anyone confused about intimate relationships, this book offers a clear, highly
readable, and entertaining road map."

"A fresh look at love and marriage, stripping away the fantasies and revealing the realities,
this book should be read by every person who is (or hopes to be) in love and/or married. While
grounded in research, the concepts are presented in common sense terms and are presented
in a way that is both entertaining and enlightening. I wholeheartedly recommend it."
