I found the title and cover design corny, but I'm a fan so I bought it, read it and enjoyed it. Even before I'd opened the book, a friend said it was so like me--not wanting to marry again after having been there, done that, and been utterly traumatized and devastated by it. But, unlike me, this woman had to do it again, after her fiancee was deported from the United States.
To cope with her situation, she decided to find out all she could about marriage through history and across cultures. It's an interesting and funny read, as usual. I learned a thing or two about marriage--not enough to make me consider it again at this stage in my biography--but enough to convince myself yet again why it's an institution that needs major reinvention.
Read it.

Hi Ms. Panjee,
I just want to say thank you because through your site, I discovered Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray and Love). More Power.
Hi Panjee,
I came across this site and it's odd that we saw you the other day in Nuvali and on that same day, we went to National Bookstore and my friend showed me the book Committed and asked me to buy it.
But I didnt buy it. :(
Reading your feedback about the book made me think again and I will definitely grab a copy. :)
Thanks much for sharing.
Have a great day!
Nina Natiola
