Who is that (wo)man I married?

You're not the person you were when you were engaged. Neither is your spouse. But let's be honest. Who is?

No one sets out to deceive his or her happily-ever-after-intended, it's just that until you're married, you don't see all the different sides of each other.

And face it: We are different. Laura Jensen Walker has a keen eye for the ironies of male-female relationship. In Dated Jekyll, Married Hyde she skillfully dissects the oddities of both men and women directionally impaired wives, chick logic, the eating habits of human males and females, the female nagging gene, and the relational value of GI Joe collections and black velvet Elvis paintings. Dated Jekyll, Married Hdye is a lighthearted romp with the absolutely serious point of helping you laugh together. And live happily ever after.

The next time your spouse does something irritating, have a good chuckle. Unless he forgets to put the seat down. Then you can just deck him.

Laura Jensen Walker-is a public speaker and former reporter. She's written hundreds of articles on topics ranging from Billy Graham to emu ranching. She and her husband have a laughter-filled home in northern California.
