HOW TO RUIN YOUR MARRIAGE
What No Marriage Book Will Tell You About How Good Marriages Are Lost
Book Two of the “Honest Marriage Series”
Genre: Non-Fiction / Relationships, Satire, Self-Help, Psychology
Most marriages are not destroyed by bad people doing terrible things. They are lost by ordinary, well-meaning people making ordinary mistakes, over ordinary time, in completely ordinary ways.
Written with a sharp mix of field-tested comedy and biting, research-backed honesty, How To Ruin Your Marriage bypasses the standard, exotic relationship crises to map the quiet, structural methods of marital erosion. Through highly relatable composite profiles of functional but drifted couples, Steven Ssamba exposes how the slow disappearing acts of emotional withdrawal, unfinished arguments, transactional scorekeeping, and the public-facing “performance of fine” can hollow a marriage from the inside out. This book is an intimate mirror designed for the couple who thinks everything is stable simply because they haven’t shouted—offering the precise, unvarnished truth about how easily two people can become comfortable strangers sharing a mortgage instead of a life.
What You’ll Explore Inside This Volume.
– Deconstruct the art of being physically present without actually showing up, exposing how smartphones, televisions, and internal filters create functional, well-maintained absence.

– Uncover the mechanics of the “unfinished argument” and “kitchen sinking,” exploring how unaddressed small grievances compound over the years into a permanent interpretive lens of resentment
