The commitment: love, sex, marriage, and my family/Dan Savage 291 pg.Dan Savage makes his living as a sex columnist but I'm enjoy his books too. This book talks about his decade long relationship with his boyfriend, with whom he shares a son, and their decision making process and discussions leading up to the final choice of whether they should get married or just have a party celebrating the 10th anniversary of their relationship. Just like any couple, they disagree about and have odd ideas about what their relationship should be. Complicating matters, they live in a state that does not recognize same sex marriages so the benefits would be only the "mental" state of marriage, not the legal state of marriage. Savage writes in an engaging way about their "discussions" along with the pressure from his mother and their son. I listened to the audio version of this book. Although not read by the author, the reader did a wonderful job of adding emotion to story.
