The Marriage Pact by Michelle Richmond

What does it take to keep a marriage healthy? Alice and Jake are newlyweds when they are asked to join "the Pact", a social group that promotes and facilitates strong marriages. What's not to love about that? At first they believe that this will help strengthen their relationship but then things start to heat up. What once seems like a fun support group has turned into a scene from the Stepford Wives. Minor infractions like not answering your spouse's phone call right away is met with punishment while larger infractions are met with being whisked away for re-education. The pace moves in time with the escalating infractions and obstacles the couple face becoming more frantic with each page . Scary in its concept, subtle in execution this is one marriage therapy program you don't want to skip.
