If you really know your spouse, you can fall in love with them all over again.

48 Hours to a Stronger Marriage is a strong and simple book that can help you close what author Bob Bowersox calls "the intimacy gap." When Bob discovered that he and his wife of twelve years, Toni, had drifted apart, he was determined to keep their marriage alive. The core of the problem? Though they still loved each other, Bob and his wife no longer knew each other very well. Most of their ideas about one another had been formed when they first met and married--and had never changed, even as they themselves were growing and changing.

So Bob devised a "reacquaintance form" for husbands and wives to complete, covering subjects like work, intimacy and family life. Husband and wife filled in answers to topics like "three things I would do if I had the money to do them" and "on a scale of 1 to 10, the importance I think intimacies like hugging, cuddling and lovemaking have in a relationship". Sharing the information on the reacquaintance forms along with a two day period of getting to know one another again served as the spark for Bob and Toni to cement their marriage and make a commitment for the future.

Follow Bob's easy 48 hour plan and remember why you and your spouse planned to be together forever.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Those not so sure that they like being married may be interested in the latest from Bowersox (star of QVC's In the Kitchen with Bob). The author says he wants to help couples get past the "intimacy gap"--"the longer we stay together the more we think we know [about each other] but the less accurate that information really is." Bowersox has developed a two-day program based on filling out and discussing the Reacquaintance Form, a questionnaire (included in the book) about the habits, fears and interests of both partners. This is also an enjoyable way for couples to learn something new about themselves.

This review is from: 48 Hours to a Stronger Marriage: Reconnect with Your Spouse and Re-Energize Your Marriage (Paperback)
I was skeptical that such a slender volume could be of any lasting value, but I was astounded at the simple truths expressed and proactive activities this book recommends. The book is a down-to-earth, sensible discussion of recreating one's marriage for right now, rather than relying on the information you first gleaned during dating, most of which will be quite outdated by now.
