The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands

While the ideas, suggestions, and techniques offered in this book are going to improve your relationship with your husband (or yours with your wife if you get her to read this book), and your attitude about yourself, your marriage, and your life, it is important to qualify this enthusiastically optimistic perspective with a serious concern. As I wrote in my first book, Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives, and reiterated in a later book, Ten Stupid Things Couples Do to Mess Up Their Relationships, the 3 A’s: Addictions, Abuse, and Affairs, are behaviors, in my opinion, that break the covenant and justify the self-preserving decision to end the relationship.Where the behavior of one or both of the spouses is blatantly destructive, dangerous, or evil, this book does not apply.
