Don't think I'd encourage anyone to spend time on it. Sep 09, Suzette rated it really liked it. A fun book about marriage and familyZ I burst out laughing quite a few times listening to his stories. Mar 26, Diana Nagy rated it it was ok Shelves: books-i-own. FYI when i first started reading this book, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. When I got to about page 70 a previous library binding I find a small note tucked inside that said something along the lines of, "if you've gotten this far in this book, you'll know by now that it really sucks.
I had high hope s it would get better. And it did. But not much. I got a few little tidbits out of it but it's probab FYI when i first started reading this book, I wasn't sure I was going to like it.
I got a few little tidbits out of it but it's probably just stuff that, like me, you've known for a very long time.
So I wouldn't waste your time reading it. But now that I look at the title I realize it never promised to teach me how to keep mine going well and improve it even more. In fact it says "everything I know about love and marriage. But what they do know is what's kept them together all this time so that's all that matters, right?!
Mar 08, Karol rated it liked it Shelves: read-in , borrowed-library. This book was OK - a light read that gave me a few belly-laughs. Oops, sorry - I don't mean to slam the gentlemen out there, but from personal experience my husband, brother and other guys in my life find different things to be funny than my female friends and I do. But even though the book seemed senseless at times perhaps intentionally so? And since laughte This book was OK - a light read that gave me a few belly-laughs. And since laughter is indeed good medicine, I felt it worth the time to read the whole thing.
May 04, Lindsey Hoover rated it liked it. Funny and an easy read. Also, my grandma and my mother-in-law both gave me this. Are they trying to tell me something? Sep 17, Kendall rated it really liked it. Feb 21, Ellen rated it it was amazing. Entertaining a light, fast read. This was cute and preferable to listening to endless radio ads while stuck in traffic. They still seem to be together and happily married some 10 years later.
Not all of the book has aged gracefully-- a cringe-worthy Trump quote, some dubya era name-dropping, combined with Mr. Happy's association with Fox and hopefully sarcastic? But none of these were central to his This was cute and preferable to listening to endless radio ads while stuck in traffic.
But none of these were central to his marital bliss points. Given the title, I expected more perspective from "Mrs. Feb 28, Debora Pinzur rated it did not like it. Started out enjoying this light-hearted book, even laughing aloud at times. However, as the plot moved on, it became all too apparent that the author, Steve Doocy, is a true Fox "talking head".
His "right-wingness" also comes front and center. He certainly has the "right" to write whatever he chooses. I choose to not follow extreme Conservative ethics; wish I h Started out enjoying this light-hearted book, even laughing aloud at times. I choose to not follow extreme Conservative ethics; wish I had known about this before reading this. Nov 11, Sarah rated it did not like it Shelves: reads. This book encapsulates all the reasons that I still have a serious aversion to the title "Mrs.
Apparently to me it's the sine qua non of cloying assumed normalcy and weird unfocused togetherness. I cannot speak to why this should be so. Jan 06, Jaimee rated it liked it. My mom gave me this book for Christmas as I am engaged and getting married in a few months. This book appears to be a self-help book from the cover, but it really is just one man's anecdotes with his wife's comments thrown in as well on married life.
IMHO as some reviews I read stated. If you're interested in a short, easy read of funny stories about the process of engagement My mom gave me this book for Christmas as I am engaged and getting married in a few months. If you're interested in a short, easy read of funny stories about the process of engagement through raising children to adults especially if you've already done those things you'd probably enjoy it.

In a vast ocean of relationship advice, it's nice to see a "normal" couple who don't take themselves too seriously. If you're seeking actual counseling advice, this certainly isn't the book you're looking for, but if you want to laugh at another couples shared experiences, this book is great! I read this book soon after it came out and when clearing out the basement last week, I saw it again and decided to give it another go.
It was just as cute the second time. If you have a couple hours and ne In a vast ocean of relationship advice, it's nice to see a "normal" couple who don't take themselves too seriously. If you have a couple hours and need a laugh, please read.
