When Your Wife Is Your Toughest Critic

“[My wife] has edited every piece of prose I’ve written. Though her criticisms are often less than gentle (‘I’m going to throw up’ is a representative margin note), she makes my work better. Much, much better. I save her marked-up manuscripts as an unluckier husband might save love letters.” — Writer Will Allison offers some thoughtful analysis of what it’s like to share your work with the person you love and on what makes a marriage work.
