At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe ??? a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who???d been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (Both survivors of difficult divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the U.S. government, who ??? after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing ??? gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again.

Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving completely into this topic, trying with all her might to discover (through historical research, interviews and much personal reflection) what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. The result is Committed ??? a witty and intelligent contemplation of marriage that debunks myths, unthreads fears and suggests that sometimes even the most romantic of souls must trade in her amorous fantasies for the humbling responsibility of adulthood. Gilbert???s memoir ??? destined to become a cherished handbook for any thinking person hovering on the verge of marriage ??? is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love, with all the complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails.

Not a squeal to EPL.

I totally fell in love with Eat, pray, love. This book does say it’s a squeal to EPL, I totally disagree to this. It is a very well researched book on “marriage”. So don’t expect it to be as gripping as EPL.
We all grow up accepting marriage as given. People grown up get married and give birth to children then they live happily ever after… is it that easy?
This books gives the inside of marriage like.. What we are getting into? What are the economic,social and legal ties that bring us together?
This book is a must read for people who are getting to a relationship or marriage or even been a newly wed couple.

Thought intensive read

A great book to read when you're deciding to take relationships seriously and/or are skeptic about marriages. Should help give your thoughts a direction. It has significant references to marriages in totality, among different society, culture, people and across time. Seriously positive and enlightening.
