读过《The Course of Love》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
三星半，相比于《爱上浪漫》，这本self help味好浓hhhhhh从恋爱结婚到生儿育女、家庭教育和孩子的心理、夫妻间的冷战、嫉妒、出轨，甚至还有couple therapy，两个人在结婚16年后终于真正准备好接受婚姻，不管是美好或是终究不完美的一面，让人很感慨，听德波顿唠唠叨叨地讲故事讲道理还是觉得很soothing

In Edinburgh, a couple, Rabih and Kirsten, fall in love. They get married. They have children. Society tells us this is the end of the story. In fact, it is only the beginning.
From the author of Essays in Love comes the long-awaited and beguiling sequel, which charts the complex and intricate course of a long-term relationship.
We all know the headiness and excitement of love’s early days, but what can be expected over a shared lifetime? We follow our couple – Rabih and Kristen – from the first flush of infatuation through to inevitable disenchantments and then onto the freedom and insights of maturity. The Course of Love is a novel that explores not so much the start of love, as its maintenance over time; the way our ideals bend and reform under the pressures of an average existence, and the magnificent, sometimes frightening, developments we can make as we slowly realise that love is in essence a skill we need to learn rather than an enthusiasm we simply experience.
Playful, wise, and profoundly moving, The Course of Love is an unparalleled meditation on modern relationships —and a delightful return to the novel for Alain, more than 20 years after Essays in Love.
