Categories: Biographies & Memoirs

My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me is a 2020 memoir by Jason B. Rosenthal, husband of the late author Amy Krouse Rosenthal, published by Harper. Before her death from ovarian cancer in 2017, Amy wrote the viral New York Times Modern Love essay "You May Want to Marry My Husband." Jason recounts their life together, her illness, and his grief, and reflects on how he learned to live fully again and find meaning after loss, themes he also explored in a widely viewed TED talk.
