Rick and Bubba's perspective on marriage is so realistic! I love the comical, almost sarcastic approach to their writing and the way they're not afraid to tell the truth on any subject - regardless of what their wives may say. My fiance and I are both reading this new edition of Rick and Bubba writing which lends plenty of good advice to new couples. We've already shared several laughs about the topics we're reading that you can't help but admit are SO TRUE. Thanks for another special message from these two guys!

This review is from: Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage (Paperback)

The self-proclaimed "two sexiest fat men alive" are back with a new book that takes on one of the oldest institutions--marriage. After tackling life, politics and secret codes, marriage should be simple, right?

In a honest, funny and heart-felt well, Rick Burgess and Bill "Bubba" Bussey offer their own insights in relationships and marriage. The book is fair to both sexes, offering the foibles that both sides commit and how to work together to overcome them. As always, the strong faith of Burgess and Bussey comes through time and again, encouraging readers to keep the focus where it should be in not only marriage, but also in all of life.

And while the book is good, it's made even better by the included "Best of" CD. The CD does offer some duplication in stories told from the book, but hearing them told on the radio by this funny duo is a real treat. If you're a fan of Rick and Bubba, this book is a must have. If you're not, why not give it a try. You might just discover why these two guys are so loved by their fans. They're funny, witty, honest and real.

My wife was holding me hostage in a closet in a back room of the house. I begged her to buy this book and read it before doing whatever it was she was going to do. Thankfully, she obliged. She said she'd set me free if I read it. Obviously, I agreed (of course, I wanted to read it since these are, without doubt, the best marriage counselors around). I read it. We both realized the failures we have had due to this book. She set me free and we now have the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage.

Thank you, Rick and Bubba, for setting me free!!!

God bless.
