Marriage: I Love You (for now)

Different parenting styles. When your child comes out as gay. Launching a young adult with autism. Carrie and her husband Joe have been married for twenty-seven years. In her most revealing memoir yet, Carrie is candid about the challenges they have faced in these areas and more.Through moments of heartbreak, humor, and hard-won grace, Carrie explores how raising a diagnosed child both strains and strengthens a partnership, how siblings find their place in a family that doesn't look like others, and how small victories become monumental triumphs. The narrative moves beyond medical labels and daily challenges to reveal a deeper story about identity, acceptance, and the evolving meaning of "normal."At its core, this is a story about staying-staying in a marriage when it's easier to pull away, staying present through uncertainty, and staying open to a kind of joy that looks nothing like what was once imagined. Honest and deeply human, it offers a powerful reflection on what it means to build a life, and a family, under extraordinary circumstances.
