Though it's not going to work for everyone, I think the forty beads method will be helpful and useful to some married couples.
That said, I found the book was unnecessary because the method is easy enough to figure out on your own, and the book itself is... well, AWFUL.
The description says that it's supposed to be written in a "girlfriend-to-girlfriend tone." I didn't find it friendly, funny, or even very helpful. The author's "tone" is condescending, disrespectful, pushy, and snarky where she doesn't need to be. There is crude language throughout, as well, for no apparent reason other than the author doesn't have a better vocabulary. Or maybe she assumes that's the way women normally talk to each other when they're talking about their sex lives and marriage.
Regardless, if you use the method, I recommend that you skip the book. Out of 5, I give the method 3 stars, and the book half a star.
