Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage
At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert had found happiness with a new partner. Having both experienced bad divorces, neither Gilbert nor her new partner had any desire to be married, however, when detained at a border-crossing they were given the choice to either get married or her Brazilian-born partner of Australian citizenship would be permanently banned from entering the United States . . .
The event left Gilbert at a crossroads and ultimately led to Committed, a very personal book that explores various types of love, marriage, and commitment around the world looking at things such as compatibility, fidelity, infatuation, traditions, social expectations, divorce risks, and more in an effort to consider both the benefits and the drawbacks to being in a committed relationship.
