Old Bob Fulghum had me hooked to his writing when I was 16; when I read “Uh oh” from cover to cover instead of listening to an accountancy lecture on ‘double entry system of bookkeeping’. One of my favourite people (not just authors), Fulghum has some advice about marriage to his beloved god-daughter – and universally applicable to anyone contemplating marriage (or who’s already married). “Attend to your marriage, not your wedding.”
