A woman and her husband take a year long break at a time of change for job location and realization that their kids have their own families to dedicate their whole day, too. It is not so much fiction as it is nonfiction as well. Anderson wrote this as an experience she had in her marriage, wanting to share this with other couples, maybe with the same age demographic, who were going through this very thing and are convinced that their marriage is over.
Not that my marriage is over, we celebrated two years back in May [I really did not write a thing in May…], but as I was reading this I was all for that break time. People do that differently: internally, externally, with spouse, without. We all go through changes, where over time we are not as needed as much as we used to be because people grow and change, or the need slightly changes to fit the atmosphere. It gets hard sometimes to be excited for things, for life, as you grow up and wonder how you will do it, but it was nice to read that someone was going through that, too and made purposeful time to relearn how.
I would reread this again for the good reminder that we need every now and then of how to find excitement in life as things change. To be able to have that ability is amazing and I applaud those who can, like my husband.
If you would like a simple, refreshing break, I would find it here. I believe every edition/copy has a discussion section if you are into discussions. Anderson does marriage-based public speaking events using her books as tools.
