The husband, Thaddeus Carmichael, almost immediately discerns what is going on and decides to encourage a romance between his beautiful wife, Beverly, and Jonathan. Thaddeus wants to catch them doing something so that he can sue the hell out of the Jamaica Family Center and collect a huge financial settlement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonathan further complicates his life by letting his infatuation for Beverly become known to his super-acerbic girlfriend, Arlene, during a fuzzy pot-filled interlude. Meanwhile, Jonathan's new-age shrink, Timothy Mitchell, in-between his own breakdowns, advises Jonathan to go right ahead and do what he has to do. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to being a very funny novel, Our Marriage Counselor explores ethnic issues in a completely open, honest, and frank light. The novel plays around with normally heavy themes without itself being heavy in the least.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Permanent Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036063285488,"sku":"9781579624927","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781579624927_p0.jpg?v=1763800227","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781579624927","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
