Bed and Board: Plain Talk About Marriage

Product Description

The first book from acclaimed theologian-chef Robert Farrar Capon, originally published in 1965. Re-released for the first time in 2018, Bed & Board is Capon’s enduring, rambunctious counsel on marriage and family life—woven through with the message of grace that never changes.

From inside:

“This book is not about those giants who tower over you: Psychology, Education, Maturity, Sexual Adjustment—not even Religion. They can take care of themselves. This is about you—that is, about me (for we are all unique, and practically identical). This is, to be honest, not a book at all. It is only a monologue, and not an entirely sober one at that. It is one peasant swapping stories with another in the cold backyard of the House of Important Subjects, while the grand seigneurs hold their solemn consultations within. The author’s qualifications therefore almost cease to matter. Indeed, he has arranged things so that only one is really necessary: He must be an expert in absurdity. And that is the only qualification that will be offered. An absurd Baedeker for an absurd journey; no apologies, no explanations…”
