Quote preview background for Jeffrey Eugenides
There__ a thing they__e figured out about love. Scientifically. They__e done studies to find out what keeps couples together. Do you know what it is? It isn__ getting along. Isn__ having money, or children, or a similar outlook on life. It__ just checking in with each other. Doing little kindnesses for each other. At breakfast, you pass the jam. Or, on a trip to New York City, you hold hands for a second in a smelly subway elevator. You ask __ow was your day?_ and pretend to care. Stuff like that really works.
