Book Review - 150 Secrets to a Happy Wife

About the Book

Joe is one man in a household of females (a wife and four daughters), unless you want to count the neutered dog. Sanity and his general survival are dependent on him understanding the fairer sex, and more specifically, keeping the relationship with his wife healthy.

There have been burritos to the face, spats over the remote control, and some pretty close calls, such as when a naïve Joe told the pregnant love of his life that it’s “not all about you,” but in the process, he has finally learned 150 Secrets to a Happy Wife.

Utilizing a humorous tone and simple, clear lessons, Joe advises readers how to maintain a balanced relationship.

Ask Joe what are the 150 Secrets to a Happy Wife?:

How do you walk the fine line between being helpful and being a sugary muffin-cake? (Hint: You’ll always be regarded as helpful when it comes doing your fair share and maybe a little extra.)
Where do your rank on the sensitivity chart? (Can you locate the Hallmark and Lifetime channels?)
What would it be like if a guy got pregnant? (AKA, time to be grateful to your wife.)
How do you to quit acting like you’re The Man and actually be The Man?
Is there any way to bring back the old romance?
And many other tips, including 10 things to say to your wife if you want to die immediately

150 Secrets to a Happy Wife has helped to make lives easier for both husbands and wives, as well as any single man who’d ever like to romance his love. The book also carries a deeper message: it conquers the topic of how couples disconnect, and more importantly, how to reconnect through teamwork, compassion, and romance.
