Why Marry Jewish? surprising reasons for Jews to marry

This is the only book that I know of that proves a simple fact: If you marry someone of a different religion, your married life may likely be miserable, even if you don't care about your religion. This principle, so well researched and presented in the book, can just as well apply to Christians, Moslems, Hindus, or any other peoples. In fact, the author himself points this out and much of his evidence comes from the experiences of people in religions other than Judaism.
The logic is simple: Marriage is an attempt to merge together two independent individuals with their own life history and baggage. The more common ground between them, the better the chance that the marriage will work. The more differences, in how they view the purpose of life, the proper way of raising children, the proper format of a family celebration, which holidays to celebrate and how, the less the chances that the couple will be able to keep their union from splitting.
More convincing than the logic, however, is the massive array of evidence that the author presents to prove his point. The evidence is contemporary, some of it even from Internet chat groups. It is both statistical (overwhelming) and anecdotal. The chances today of a marriage staying together are not good, but when you combine that with the drastically worsened chances introduced by mixed marriage, things look far less than good.
One of the best features of this book is that it doesn't mention any of the heart-tugging, guilt-inspiring, arguments that we've all heard over the years, arguments that really don't convince us but just serve to make us feel bad.
This book tells you exactly what you can expect from marriage and proves rather entertainingly and professionally that if you want what's best for yourself, you'll marry someone of the same religion. Not because of loyalty, but because you deserve the best pleasure and happiness in your marriage.
