A friend recommended this book and my reaction was "Really? You want ME to read this?" I've considered myself a feminist since the 70s so the title made me a little skeptical. I had read a book with a similar title, with a heavily religious theme, early in my first marriage and ended up throwing the book against the wall.This book, however, mostly avoids the religious angle and is straight forward and full of common sense suggestions and ideas that we probably know but forget to put into practice or accidentally neglect. It is a good reminder of how to treat your spouse by realizing and identifying what they need, just as we have needs, too.Although I may not agree with everything the author says, I can heartily recommend this book as a easy read to help remind you why you love your spouse and how you can express that.Well done!
