Marriage and Relationships
"Why do you look at the closeted husband in your patient's life and pay no attention to the murderous psychopath in your own?" —The Book of Grace 7:5
We admit that's not a direct quote, but the Bible verse that inspired it might as well be the motto of this book. Grace is a marriage therapist, but her own marriage is damaged beyond repair and she doesn't even realize it. Beyond that, she based her idea of a successful marriage on her parents, only to learn that they were also incredibly unhappy. If we could assign everyone in this book a default relationship status, it would be, "It's (seriously) complicated."
The thesis of Grace's book is that if you don't notice warning signs early in a relationship, you may choose the wrong partner, and your eventual unhappiness is unsurprising. Unfortunately, she failed to notice the warning signs in her own marriage, which simultaneously proves her thesis both right and wrong.
While Grace's attraction to Jonathan was intense and immediate, her relationship with Leo grows over time.
