"Discover the keys to upholding your vows while staying sane in this hilariously candid guide to relationships\, fro m the husband-and-wife team of comedian Kevin Fredericks and influencer Me lissa Fredericks. Growing up\, Kevin and Melissa Fredericks were taught en dless rules around dating\, sex\, and marriage\, but not a lot about what actually makes a relationship work. When they first got married\, they fel t alone-like every other couple had perfect chemistry while the two of the m struggled. There were conversations that they didn't know they needed to have\, fears that affected how they related to each other\, and seasons o f change that put their marriage to the test. Part of their story reads li ke a Christian fairytale: high school sweethearts\, married in college\, n ever sowed any wild oats\, with two sons and a thriving marriage. But ther e's another side of their story: the night Melissa kicked Kevin out of her car after years of communication problems\, the time early in their marri age when Kevin bordered on an emotional affair\, or the way they've used s ocial media and podcasts to conduct a no-holds-barred conversation about f orbidden topics like jealousy\, divorce\, and how to be Christian and sex- positive. (Because\, as Kevin writes\, 'Your hormones don't care about you r religious beliefs. Your hormones want you to subscribe to OnlyFans.') In Marriage Be Hard\, they provide a hilarious and fresh master class on wha t it takes to build and maintain a lasting relationship. Drawing on interv iews with experts and nearly two decades of marriage\, they argue that Com patibility is overrated. Communication is about way more than simply talki ng. Seeing divorce as an option can actually help your marriage. There's s uch a thing as healthy jealousy. Real marriage is not automatic. It ain't no Tesla on the open road. Sometimes it's a stick shift on a hill in the r ain with no windshield wipers. But if you get comfortable visiting-and rev isiting-the topics that matter\, it can transform your bond with your part ner and the life you're building together. Written for those tired of unre alistic relationship books-and for anyone wondering if they're the only on es breaking all the rules-Marriage Be Hard is a breath of fresh air and th e manual you wish existed after you said 'I do.'"
