From AudioFile

Using the motto "It can be done," Borgnine instills the listener with the motivation to succeed at married life despite its difficulties. Reading her own text, Borgnine's voice emphasizes her perspective that the success of marriage depends on the woman. Using her own life as an example, Borgnine captures the naïvete and sadness of her first love, as well as the later transitions in her relationships with men. Her upbeat attitude and strength of spirit, plus the ability to transfer her feelings of encouragement and positive attitude, keep the audience listening attentively. The self-confidence of Borgnine's strong , unwavering speech continually acts as a positive reinforcer of her philosophy of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Marriage Must, January 8, 2001

This review is from: Being Married Happily Forever: 22 Secrets, 12 Strategies and 8 Compromises (Audio Cassette)

This book was a gift to me from my mother for my wedding shower....I began reading it on my Hawaiian honeymoon. The book offers valuable insight to the interactions of men and women while engaged in a marriage. Through reading this piece I began to understand my husband (whom I dated for nearly 8 years prior to marriage)and his actions. Give and take is a key and Tova doesn't expect anyone to be perfect, she kindly shares her own trials and tribulations with the reader to let them know they are not alone. It's a must for anyone getting married -- all of my currently engaged friends will be receiving this one from me!!

Believe it or not, this book is written by Tova Borgnine, wife of Ernie the movie actor. What a couple they are and what lives they have had. Book is quite a read and very well written. I am a big fan of Ernie's acting and a fan of Tova's cosmetic line for skin care, so I really loved this book. If you read, enjoy it thoroughly.
