I really loved this book. I appreciated the author's wit, and that he shared examples that made sense. I will probably read it again someday.

I went back and forth on 3 or 4 stars for this book. The concrete suggestions are invaluable, but the repetitive fluff surrounding them was incredibly frustrating. Ultimately, though, it was well worth the read (albeit at high speed during the irrelevant parts), and I've recommended it to several other couples I know, which is some proof of its merit. Once you can get past the endless string of "this book is going to change your life," "it's unlike anything you've ever read," "it might be so revolutionary that it's hard for you to accept," the concepts outlined in the book are gold. Skim it for the good stuff about controlling your own reactions (since they're the only ones you CAN control) and reshaping your role in the patterns of your marriage.

Funny, modern and relevant. The author blends theory and practicality superbly. This book isn't preachy but does have a touch of Buddhist philosophy (probably not intended by the author but welcomed by this reader).

Overall it was a good book. It'd be better if the writer would stop asking "are you still with me?" at one point.

This book brought up numerous great points that I opened my mind to my marriage with my wife, soon to be ex. Just kidding! I've already applied some of the tips and have gotten closer with my wife. My marriage is in a good place and this book help strengthen it. That being said any couple, married or not, could benefit from this read.
