bought this after reading a review of it on bustedhalo.com. I really love it, I have bought a few books in this genre already and this is my favorite. Most of the other books read like a Cosmo article but this one is smart.

The test drive analogy for marriage is more than just a euphemism for premarital sex. "A Little Bit Married: How to Know When It's Time to Walk Down the Aisle or Out the Door" discusses marriage from both sides, as Hannah Seligson draws on her own experience. Seligson offers her thoughts on when's the right time to commit for the long haul, the dangers of commitment and why people fear it, and why testing the waters can prevent one from becoming a hasty divorcee. "A Little Bit Married" is a resource for those looking for that lifetime commitment should look into.

The book is stuffed with important advice, thought provoking questions, and serious real-life issues that most young adults face with relationships today. It is a great opportunity to take one's relationship through many commitment levels in a healthy, open, and thought-through progression. "ALBM" is practical and even essential to positive growth for many types of relationships. It is precisely illustrative of modern relationship obstacles and how to avoid or deal with the bumps along the way!

Hannah Seligson has finally put a name to something that has been going on for a while even though no one knew what to call it. And I have a feeling "a little bit married" will soon be an established part of the lexicon we use to describe a type of relationship that looks a whole lot like a marriage without being one. We've all either been there ourselves or know folks who are living it, and it's great that there's a now a smart book looking at why so many people today are "a little bit married."
