I Do (I Think)
ByPublisher Description
"Marriage norms in today’s society are rapidly changing and it can be hard to keep up. Allison Raskin’s book unpacks the questions and uncertainties around marriage that so many of us have... a must-read for anyone and everyone that may be curious about the intricacies of modern marriage.” –Nick Viall, TV Personality, Host of The Viall Files, and Bestselling Author
From Just Between Us cohost and bestselling author Allison Raskin comes a witty, incisive take on modern marriage and how a new generation can navigate its uncertainties and questions.
Marriage rates may be on the decline, but that doesn’t mean marriage is disappearing from society. In fact, as modern relationship norms and structures continue to evolve, the public discourse about marriage has never been louder—or more conflicted. Divorce rates, the appeal of cohabitation, seemingly infinite options for future partners, the patriarchal roots of marriage and gender roles, and economic uncertainty are just a few factors that leave a new generation of single and dating adults wondering. What does marriage even look like now? Why do people still do it? And, most importantly, is it “for me”?
With conversational wit and compassion, bestselling author Allison Raskin draws on new research, interviews with licensed experts, and the stories of real-life couples to break down the many pieces of today’s “marriage conversation”—and to make the leap of faith a little less scary for Gen Z and millennial adults like herself. What emerges is a thoughtful investigation into our cultural assumptions about commitment, compatibility, divorce, meaningful partnership, the future of marriage—and what it really means to join your bank accounts.

“I have followed Allison Raskin’s work for years now - the way she discusses challenging topics just makes sense to me. I’m recently married and found a lot of gems in this book. I think it will be great to revisit down the line when we’re past the honeymoon phase. Even if you’re in a happy, supportive relationship already, this book is absolutely worth the read. There are thought provoking questions for you and your partner at the end of each chapter. As always, can’t compliment Allison enough on her thoughtful, comprehensive, and engaging writing style. One last thing - go read her other books too!”
