This was great! The author divides her chapters into different marital problems, starting with the letter F. I loved the chapter on families, and on what couples can do to mitigate natural stresses that come with children, and I listened to the chapter on familiarity twice.
The author is Australian, and if you listen to the audiobook, she narrates it herself. It’s really entertaining, lots of funny stories, lots of helpful suggestions. I would recommend this to anyone.

Hilarious, frank, reasonable. A bit broad, splashing about in the shallows rather than going deep on any one of its topics, from sex to child-rearing to arguing well. Good survey.

Very well written and informative, interesting data on marriage. I just wish the book had included a synopsis at the end.

I am a big fan of reading about marriage (and other topics) while things are going well. I feel like at moments like these, I am open to learning and receiving because I am not constantly triggered by what I might be upset about. So all potential ideas feel like options I can try out and use to strengthen my marriage. This book has both anecdotal stories and academic research and statistics. I would say that if your marriage is in trouble and you're reading this book for ideas, the tone might throw you off a bit. It's funny and jokey, not in a bad way but it might rub you the wrong way if you're hurting or angry.
For me, I enjoyed this reminder of several different areas to pay attention to in my marriage and to always keep working on it.
