Rachel panicked as she lay awake on the first night of her year-long honeymoon—a backpacking trip around the world. Though young and in love, she wasn’t sure she actually believed in marriage, let alone the lofty Mormon ideal of eternal marriage. This unconventional honeymoon felt like a brief reprieve from the crushing expectations for a Mormon bride. But this trip also offered opportunities: the chance to study wedding traditions in other cultures and the space to confront what marriage—including her own—meant to her.

More Women Need to ‘Reckon’ With Marriage
Revisado: 06-23-23
The halmark of a great memoir is to make the reader feel like it was written about their own life. As a white, Mormon woman growing up in Utah there is so much to this story that resonated deeply with my own experience but any reader can enter the authors world identify relatable truths. Rueckert highlights poignant aspects of our culture and juxtaposes it within the broader story of cultures from around the world. The perspective helped me appreciate and own my story. I hope to see more woman reckoning with marriage, not as a critique on the institution but as a reflective practice that can help in preparing for marriage and in building a marriage.
