I'm not married yet, but I have been living with my boyfriend for 7 months and I am approaching married life. This book definitely gave me a lot of different reactions; sometimes I was laughing, sometimes I was saying “Yep, that's exactly right!”, and sometimes it caught me off guard and got me thinking about how to fix some of the problems me and my boyfriend are having.I just returned from a holiday with my significant other this week. The chapter on the Law of Expectation definitely covered a lot of the issues that we had during our vacation. Usually at home me and my boyfriend have a lot of space between each other and the issues are definitely hidden behind the day to day duties. On vacation, the book nailed what happens, and talks about vacations not fixing the problems and being relaxing, but unmasking the problems and magnifying them. With no mask to cover the friction, we had a few fights during the 1 week vacation.Honestly, overall this book covers married life completely, and is definitely blunt about the issues that can or will arise throughout the marriage. I think that this book is a great way to recognize the issues on both sides of the relationship, and helps work along side of the issues to help you improve all aspects of your relationship.
