I needed a pick me up from the stresses I've been facing recently. Both my boyfriend and I have packed schedules (2 year old, school, work) and low patience. Sometimes, I feel like we're business partners.I bought this book to get some good advice. First off, the tone was hilarious. The first half was the sarcastic version of the 10 steps, followed by the second half which included practical solutions and recommendations to fix the problems.One of my favorite lines for example, include "serve up an omelet of criticism with a dash of spicy neglect". In the second half of the book, the author explains that you should start the day off right. Maybe send a text saying that you love your spouse or give him or her a kiss when he or she leaves for work.The most important thing that I took away was that small interactions add up over time (like connecting over dinner or setting up a date night). I'm guilty to the fact that I don't always tune in, but I'll start working on it.Another great thing is that at the end of the book there's a free ebook that offers more free relationship advice. I'll be signing up for it as well, since this book was useful and hilarious.
Having been with my husband for … a long time … I’m a sucker for books that give sound advice on how to keep our relationship sparked, simmering and burning bright. This book was so well-rated I thought I’d give it a try and I have to say, it didn’t disappoint. Written by a therapist, the advice is resoundingly sage and well-vetted. The tone was light and humorous (laugh-out-loud funny at times) and the author’s voice is engaging and wise. I specifically loved how practical the advice in this book is and it really gets you thinking about some of the ways men and women look at relationships. I learned a lot and have recommended this book to several married friends as a result. A fantastic, enjoyable, easy read.
When I started reading this book I thought, "WTF!" I had envisioned something different based on the title and my current life situation. After I read a little and looked at the title again, it was clear that I had misunderstood.The first part of the book presents the types of behaviors you should engage in if you want to destroy your relationship. If you recognize any of these behaviors in your own actions and it is NOT your intention to kamikaze your relationship... you better read on.What follows are some concise and practical suggestions for turning things around. Hopefully, there's still time. This book, especially the second part, lends itself to reading and sharing as a couple, but can be helpful to an individual as well.
The catchy title of this book caught my attention so I decided to give a try.I found the tongue-in-cheek beginning to this book a bit too long and tedious but it did make for a more original approach to the topic.The author then goes on to suggest some practical and easy ways to save, rekindle and renew a relationship. There were some good reminders in that section, particularly for anyone who is in a long-term relationship that has gotten a bit stale. And as we all know, that can happen so easily! ;-)If you need to get things "cooking" in your love life, on all levels, this is an eBook you might want to check out.

I like how the beginning starts off, as It surprised me. The last chapters were just as enjoyable and extremely helpful. If you want to rekindle your relationship, then this book is perfect for you. Great read and recommended!
As a newlywed I grabbed this book for the sheer humor to an important topic, having a happy marriage. This is a great satiristic approach to having a loving, happy marriage. I especially enjoyed the end of the book. Sometimes the simplest things can mean the most in a marriage and this book does a great job of helping you overlook just how easy it is to be happy in love the right way.
A great, easy read with some tips to freshen up your relationship when our lives become too busy and hectic.This book offers some fun reminders on how to treat our partners to get the most out of our relationship, it definitely motivated me to make more of an effort to appreciate the little things I love about my relationship and let my partner know them.I have definitely seen improvements in my marriage from just changing small things in my day that let my partner know I'm thinking of him. By creating a morning ritual, it helped us to connect first thing in the morning and has set the mood for the day in such a positive way.I would highly recommend this book.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.The author of this book, who is also a marriage therapist, uses humor to describe several ways to ruin a relationship in the first half of this book. Then in the second half, she gets down to business with ways to create a long lasting and happy marriage. If couples were to follow the advice in this book, the author would need to find a new career. It is my opinion that couples living together, as well as, newlyweds should read this book.PJ LaRueAuthor of After "I Do!" A Marriage Map
