The 158 pound marriage6/9/2023 Of course, such things as spouse swapping are bound to fall apart, and the reader experiences the full implosion as both couples must deal with their "break-up" and the new dynamic it introduces both into their own marriages and with each other as "friends." In fact, he dedicates a chapter to each character in the beginning of the book, establishing background, and he literally divides them by weight class. One of the characters is a wrestling aficionado (not an uncommon occurrence in Irving's writing) and thus you get the title and all sorts of easily accessible wrestling lingo. It becomes a normal occurrence for them, and they even go so far as to vacation together. Though neither couple seemingly would have considered such a thing before, they begin to swap partners without secrecy. The book is about two married couples who meet well after they've each established a family and mode of life. This is the second book I've read by Irving, and I have to admit he's quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. A Master of Craft, Plot, and Characterization
