Life After "I Do"

The rules are simple: don't see or communicate with each other for a whole year. Will this save their love?

Lauren and Ryan met and fell in love back in college. It seemed that mutual affection, romantic relationships, and a deep connection led them to a happy ending—marriage. Ahead of them was only "happily ever after"... But more than ten years pass, and their marriage is on the verge of collapse. Eventually, when everything good has disappeared, and only dim memories of sex and romance remain, the most mundane argument can be the last straw for this couple. In hopes of falling in love with each other again, Lauren and Ryan take a desperate step—they decide to take a break. They agree to put their marriage on hold, not seeing or communicating for a whole year. Perhaps during this time, they will be able to rekindle their past feelings (or find new love and definitively end things). A poignant and insightful, and at times extraordinarily witty, story about what it means to love and what is worth fighting for.
