From the Publisher

As a publisher, we were impressed by the originality of Belly Laughter in Relationships. Although there are many books on this particular topic, none present the fresh approach of this particular book. We believe people will be both helped and refreshed by the information in this unique, informative and sensible book. Belly Laughter in Relationships is the best book people can read to begin a relationship or to revitalize a relationship they are already in.
