The much-loved Guardian columnist asks what it takes to make a
husband, and looks to his own married life to provide the answer.*
*Anything resembling advice should be taken at reader's own risk.
You'll never get divorced if you never get married. Not even your
granny minds if you live in sin anymore. And if you're single you
can choose curtains without somebody else butting in. So why bother
with marriage? It can't just be an easy way round having to buy
your own deodorant. Guardian columnist Tim Dowling is a husband of
some twenty years. His marriage is resounding proof that even the
most impossible partnership can work out for the best. Some of the
time. So while this book is called 'How To be a Husband', it's not
really a how-to guide at all. Nor is it a compendium of petty
remarks and brinkmanship - although it contains plenty of both. You
may pick up a few DIY hints. You might learn that while marriage is
founded on love, it endures through bloody hard work. Most likely
it will make you whimper with the laughter of painful recognition.
'How To be a Husband' is a cautionary tale about throwing caution
to the wind. It's the strange romance of two people consenting to
share a roll-on. It's a new manifesto for marriage and an answer to
why, even when we suck at it, we stick at it.
