Whyte suggests that separating these "marriages" in order to balance them is to destroy the fabric of happiness itself. Drawing from his own struggles and the lives of some of the world’s great writers and artists-from Dante to Jane Austen to Robert Louis Stevenson-Whyte explores the wa

Since the end of the Cold War, East Europeans are one of the latest waves to give it a try. Some come here, marry, and live happily ever after. Some discover the country (or the man of their dreams) is different from wh
