REVIEW: This is a great book for married couples. I've been married almost 30 years, and I thought I knew everything there was to know about my husband, but this book helped open my eyes to a couple of different aspects of our relationship. Dr. Chapman offers very good advice. The only thing that made me cringe were some of the stories he shared about his clients, but this had nothing whatsoever to do with Dr. Chapman himself. (There were a couple of his male clients who I wanted to reach through the book and smack upside the head!) I would recommend this book to all married couples...and singles too! Honestly, I believe everyone can benefit from reading it, no where what stage of life you're in.
