THE WIFE with Kids: Afterbirth

THE WIFE with Kids: Afterbirth

THE WIFE™ with Kids will be laughing out loud with this hysterical summer read. Afterbirth is about what parenting is really like: full of inappropriate impulses, unbelievable frustrations, and idiotic situations. It’s about how life for some parents changes for the worse after their kids are born. Or so it feels. It’s about how not every three year- old is charming and delightful and about how sometimes when your kid is having a tantrum, you have to stifle the impulse to round-house him. And Afterbirth is funny—the participants are some of the best comic writers and performers today, turning their attention very close to home and sparing no one, particularly themselves. Available at Amazon.com – THE WIFE™ 

THE WIFE Book Club: “Mating in Captivity”

THE WIFE Book Club: Mating in Captivity by: Esther Perel

In this explosively original book, Perel explains that our culture penchant for equality, togetherness, and absolute candor is antithetical to erotic desire for both men and women. Sexual excitement doesn’t always play by the rules of good citizenship. It is politically incorrect. It thrives on power plays, unfair advantages, and the space between self and other. More exciting, playful, even poetic sex is possible, but first we must kick egalitarian ideals and emotional housekeeping out of our bedrooms.

While Mating in Captivity shows why the domestic realm can feel like a cage, Perel’s take on bedroom dynamics promises to liberate, enchant, and provoke. Flinging the doors open on erotic life and domesticity, she invites us to put the “X” back in sex. A must read for THE WIFE™. Now available in 24 languages, $13.99 at Amazon.com
