Staying Married and Loving It

Summary: This is a joke, right?
Review: Can't believe this sexist stuff--"Stay until you physically deteriorate." "Put on your prettiest makeup." (Oh, so THAT'S why my husband is a jerk? I'm not wearing enough makeup?) "Keep your weight in check." As if I've not been doing that all along? Then he complains about "a new diet this month." What drug did you guys smoke out there in California that helped you "create" this? Look, I know people worked hard for this book and the garbage before it, but really--after all these years to make marriage somewhat equal, do we have to go back to being Donna Reed and doing housework in high heels? Gimme a break! Thank heavens I got this on sale--I'd hate to think I paid full price for this cr!p.

Summary: A fun read -- and shocking advice that actually works!
Review: I have read many books on communication, and many books on how to be even happier in interpersonal relationships, and I can honestly say that Staying Married... is the best, and most helpful, one I have ever read. Don't expect sweet-sounding advice that doesn't really work -- this book gives you the real deal. The section entitled "How To Get What You Want From Your Man Without Asking" is amazing. After reading it, I applied the principles... and they worked!

Summary: Still married and loving it!
Review: My husband and I were on the verge of divorce a year ago, and now we can't get enough of each other.. all because of this book! The title is misleading because it's not a book for the wife.. the husband needs to read it as well for this to work. I recommend it to everyone struggling with marital roles and the confusion and frustration that comes with it. It's smart and realistic and it works! Skip the sexist comments - they aren't important to the theories - and learn from the rest.
