Maurois, André. The Art of Being Happily Married. First Edition. 1953. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition—jacket shows minor edge tears and light fraying, and it is also price-clipped. Translated by Crystal Herbert.
 
Published in France as Cours de Bonheur Conjugal, this book by the French literary lion André Maurois presents the pitfalls and pleasures of marriage via twelve instructional vignettes. He follows a wedded couple—Philippe and Marise—through a series of adventures, from courtship and honeymoon to silver anniversary. Gallic sophistication and marriage turn out to be entirely compatible in this elegant treatise on good manners. It would make a lovely gift for newlyweds.
​
“Wounded self-respect is fatal for love and makes us hate those responsible. In all matrimonial decisions, as in surgery, one should only intervene with extreme caution, and with the patient’s welfare in mind.”
 
--André Maurois
