Divorce rates hover around 50%. Media bombards us with cynical portrayals of marriage as a slow march toward resentment. Yet when Fawn Weaver grew tired of the negativity, she didn't just complain-she founded the Happy Wives Club.

She embarked on an ambitious quest: traveling twelve countries across six continents to discover whether truly happy marriages share universal secrets. What she found challenges everything our culture tells us about marriage. These weren't couples living fairy tales-they were ordinary people making extraordinary daily choices. Their wisdom, gathered from bustling cities to remote villages, reveals that lasting marital happiness isn't luck or fantasy.
