At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe -
a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who'd been living in Indonesia when they met.
Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to
never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (Both survivors of difficult divorces.
Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the U.S. government, who -
after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing - gave the couple a
choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country
again.
Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving
completely into this topic, trying with all her might to discover (through historical research,
interviews and much personal reflection) what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually
is. The result is Committed - a witty and intelligent contemplation of marriage that debunks
myths, unthreads fears and suggests that sometimes even the most romantic of souls must
trade in her amorous fantasies for the humbling responsibility of adulthood. Gilbert's
memoir - destined to become a cherished handbook for any thinking person hovering on the
verge of marriage - is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love, with all the complexity and
consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails.

idiosyncratic, not as inspiring as the previous one.
评分读不下去了，烂
评分恩 酸里吧唧 学英语
评分作者已经成名，写书有了顾忌，没有第一本那么酣畅淋漓，但还是很好看。
评分这本果然讲的是大问题 - 婚姻。与第一本不同，这不再是关于一个人的故事，而是两个人如何克服对婚姻的恐惧。结婚就如同一个枷锁，特别是对那些没有安全感的人来说，很多人担心会让人失去自我，最后虽然夫妻一场但已经没有感情，只有各种妥协下的相处。说到这，如此现实的问题不禁让还没结婚人们唏嘘不已。而已经在围城里的人们会以各种自身经历教导我们不要盲目的相信爱情和婚姻可以共存。好莱坞式的童话永远只存在于电影里，而我们注定要在不完美中找寻自己对婚姻的答案。
