Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage by Elizabeth Gilbert

5.0

I read this book about 2 years ago and still think of its passages often. The journey of Elizabeth Gilbert is authentic, which is perhaps why I gravitated to it. It may also be because I, too, have often wondered what makes marriage official. She researches in much the same way I do, scouring the internet, buying random books and videos, and talking with other people. If you, too, wonder about the history of marriage and are curious about one woman's journey to find out it's meaning throughout history so she can make peace with the institution on her own terms, this book is definitely worth a read.
