Mariage is fun. Marriage is exciting, and romantic, and magical. And it's also... not. It's the exhaustion of waking up at 4 a.m. for your newborn baby.

That the woman you married isn't what she seemed. Welcome to shalom bayis.*** Shalom Bayis: The Jewish religious concept of domestic harmony and good relations (or shalom) between husband and wife. These short stories highlight some tried and tested methods of attaining Shalom Bayis. Not all of them work... some even fail terribly. A humorous, uncensored, thought-provoking perspective.
