William M. (doubleu-d) reviewed Men Read Newspapers, Not Minds...and Other Things I Wish I'd Known When I First Married on + 5 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1
I assumed this book would be written more toward a female audience than to the husbands. So, I began reading it from the perspective of "Let's see what she tells the wives." I was delighted to find that it is really written in a way that can strengthen marriages no matter which spouse reads the book. The book is filled with good advice and humor.
If my children were of the age to be thinking about relationships, I would pay them to read it. Each chapter ends with a list of discussion questions that will help them think about the concepts that will improve their marriage quality.
If you can accept advice without all the supporting stories, reasons, and humor, each chapter also ends with a list of "Simple Reminders" that sum up the main points of the chapter. If you're truly in a hurry, read the reminders and look for the details in the chapter if you discover you need more information about one.
