New scenery, exciting adventures, time alone with a loved one. Truth is, travel can make or break a relationship. Just negotiating when to leave for the airport can be tricky: she insists on arriving hours ahead of flight time, he likes the excitement of a photo finish. But as Mary-Lou Weisman sees it, \"The inevitable rage with which we begin each trip only helps us to better appreciate the good times that lie ahead.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Or maybe not. When people have jet lag, can't speak the language, figure out the money, or maintain intestinal regularity, they get cranky. And since they don't know anybody else in Kyoto to take it out on, they take it out on each other. Alas, couples therapy is rarely available on vacation, which is why we need this hilarious and truthful take on travel and togetherness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using her own misadventures--from honeymoon through Elderhostel--Weisman exposes all the gender landmines: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Destinations: He wants to outrun molten lava down a volcano, she prefers raking gravel in a Buddhist monastery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Motivations: She longs for a change of scenery, he hopes for a change of self. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Preparations: She keeps a file of required sights, he won't be bullied by travel guides. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Accommodations: She divides every hotel room in half so he'll know on which side of the bed to throw his wet towel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Inclinations: She shops a country, he eats it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is the real skinny on what happens when Mars and Venus hit the road. With a sly wink, a comic nod, and just the right amount of optimism, Weisman shows us that despite the shortcomings of one's beloved, harmonious travel is possible.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 25, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42726254608447,"sku":"9781616206284","price":41.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/d2482fa1c78078f2220ec325e875ecfa.webp?v=1765109896","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/traveling-while-married-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
