I wished I had this book 43 years ago. This book is difficult to put down once you start reading. The author's humor and straightforwardness of these 52 ‘things’ have given me many good ideas on how to improve my marriage. I am giving a copy of this book to my son and my son-in-law. Not only do I expect them to read it, but also hand it down to their sons, my grandsons.

Jay Payleitner doesn't talk down to you. He’s just a regular guy with some useful experience you can learn from. You'll be able to relate to the experiences he shares, and laugh and learn along with him. This is the kind of book that's easy to pick up, easy to start reading, but you might not set it down until you're done with it. I recommend it. You'll feel empowered and more confident in your marriage when you're done. Chances are you'll also like the reaction you get from your wife.
