A Book for Every Modern Indian Couple
Row, Row, Row Your Boat: 50 Simple Little Things To Navigate The Modern Indian Marriage
The modern Indian couple stands on an interesting cusp of two worlds.
Even as their roots lie in the ancient wisdom and traditions of our longstanding culture, they are simultaneously embracing the future of modern living.
In the book Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Couples Therapists & Marriage Mentors, Sophia Philips and Roopak Nedumpilly speak of their own journey as a couple navigating these dual worlds and share the insights they have gathered along the route. Early in their marriage, they realized that their relationship was like a boat – sailing sometimes through turbulent waters and sometimes through gentle, placid waves. In each of these varied moments, it was by paying attention to the little things, the details, that they were able to rediscover each other and grow together to navigate the oceans.
Through their lively and refreshingly honest anecdotes of marital fiascos and repair attempts, they take the modern Indian on a self-reflective journey. It makes the reader examine their marriage and help them row better – together.
