This book advises women about what to do when the honeymoon is literally and figuratively over. How can you bring back the romantic man of your dreams? According to Bushong, it's through establishing equal power and honest negotiations.

Using abstract theory and concrete examples, she shows how men will only treat women as badly as the women allow. This simple concept of reclaiming power is one of the most important ideas that runs throughout the book. It can be applied to male-female relationships as well as parenting and on-the-job situations. She offers many examples of how to do this effectively. I tried some of her ideas. They worked.

Her four steps to powerful negotiations seemed a little awkward when I first read them. How can you comfortably introduce a set negotiation formula into a casual conversation? Reluctantly, I tried this, too. It also worked.

"Bring Back the Man You Fell in Love With" offers some wonderful suggestions for restoring the love and romance from those early newlywedded years. Most married women would benefit from reading this book.
