The legendary author of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day turns her attention to marriage in a collection of poems that explores the peeves and pleasures of a long marriage...and what lies beyond.

Judith Viorst began publishing poetry in the 1960s in New York magazine, and since then, her works have celebrated life’s milestones with wit and poignancy. Married for fifty-five years, she now casts a rueful, experienced eye on the amusing annoyances and deep satisfactions of a long marriage...and what a couple must inevitably confront together.

Enriched by Stephen Campbell’s charming, full-color illustrations, this touching, wise, and funny book will surely bring a smile of recognition to anyone who has been in a long marriage. A wonderful gift for a parent, a grandparent, or your own eternal someone, Wait for Me is a celebration of the lasting power of married love.

Questionable merit - a rhymer in decline

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2021

I was a fan of Judith Viorst, whose early and middle-aged works were well-written and amusing; but frankly, if she were an unknown poet I doubt she would have found a publisher for this.

The Finer Points of Marriages of Long-Standing

Reviewed in the United States on 31 December 2016

Verified Purchase

This isn't really a story; it's a collection of poems about marriages of long-standing and how they develop. Most poignant is the discussion of how the second to die is going to locate his/her spouse in the afterlife and not wanting to spend countless hours/days/years searching all over when he/she gets there and wants to be reunited with his/her loved one..

Judith Viorst is a master of capturing the finer points of all relationships and the aging process (she started writing poems about turning 30, then 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80). I've read them all except for the "80" one - not there yet! When my husband and I first started reading her books we were in the 40-year old range ... then 50, then 60, and now 70. She pegs the things we talk about, worry about, dislike about at each stage to a "T."
I highly recommend all of her books for giving you insight into each decade of our lives.

Love is not perfect. Fortunately, neither is anyone else.

Reviewed in the United States on 24 September 2016

Long-lasting couples will recognize themselves in virtually every one of Viorst's poems. No sappy love sonnets, these -- she's all about the little irritations and baffling quirks that we all have, and how our partners deal with them (patiently... sometimes) and still love us. Mostly.
The starry-eyed newly-in-love will be appalled (and horrified!!) that the years will turn their newly-minted devotion something so... mundane.
Only if you're lucky, kids.
Only if you're lucky.

Wish it was longer!

Reviewed in the United States on 2 August 2019

Great little book of poems; quick read that will be enjoyed again & again for sure. I would really like the author to create a longer version - more poetry on this subject is sorely needed. Would make a great gift to a new couple.

I purchased this book for my husband on our 41st wedding anniversary. It is so right on for any long-term marriage. I love Judith Viorst because she is able to speak the truth of our lives in such a loving & succinct way.
