Customer Reviews

Good.
Idea is good. Open your mind, you will get good advice. However some of them might not work for your couple.

haha! good wedding gift
A group of us purchased this as part of a gift for a coworker who was getting married. We thought he might need to know "how to be the almost perfect husband." It's really funny but honestly true! I am married and read through some of it before giving it as a gift. It had some of the same things I had said to my husband in it! That helped us both find some humor with certain things in our marriage. Very lighthearted and fun.

Caution, whining ahead!!
This is a good book to keep in the bathroom magazine rack. Be careful and just read one or two pages at a sitting.
I made the mistake of reading most of the book at one time .... Whaa, whaa, whaa, blah, blah, blah.
When I finally threw it down I felt like I had been beaten up. Husbands are insensitive, brutish louts!
A lot of the quotes (complaints) are from divorced women, married 2 or 3 times.
Don't get me wrong, there's some good advise here, just ration it out slowly otherwise you might feel like singing the blues.
