Book Description

January 1, 2000
What can a husband do to improve his wife's life?" That's the question J. S. Salt asked more than a thousand wives ages 19-78. It's a simple question, yet the answers promise to do more for man/woman relations than chocolates, flowers and all the sweet nothings a man can muster. Honest, revealing, wise and funny, the answers are compiled in this priceless collection. This guide instructs, amuses and provokes as it finally answers the question that has dumbfounded men since Adam bit the apple: "What does a woman want?" Wives tell all: * What to do when your wife is stressed * How to get what you want without raising your voice * What to do before you blow up * How great sex really begins * What to do daily and what to do weekly * The one thing you must never do on Valentine's Day-and more! This delightful-yet telling-glimpse into what women are REALLY thinking is a catalyst for better behavior and, then, better relationships. At last, husbands can get a clue. And it just might save a marriage or two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guys, it's almost perfect!, April 22, 2004
This review is from: How to Be the Almost Perfect Husband: By Wives Who Know (Paperback)
As an Author, Coach, and Motivational Speaker I read alot of books about people, their motivations, and their relationships. How to Be the Almost Perfect Husband is a cliff notes version of all the relationship books for guys that are out there. Every guy should have a copy as a quick reference guide.

Each of the 100+ pages has a thought, principle, or practice that is short, sweet, and impactful. Not every one will work for every woman so you'll need to try a few out and see the results you get. Some that work for me in my relationship with my wife are:

** I know you want to help, but please don't jump in with a solution before I've finished telling you my problem. Sometimes all I need is a sympathetic ear. - Linda

** Always kiss me good morning and good night. - Penny

** Now and then, let her have a day to herself. It's a wonderful gift that won't cost you a thing. - Suzanna

** Praise your wife, even for the little things. - Susan

Husbands, buy a copy of this cool little book and take action. You'll be very happy with the results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, July 20, 2003
By 
Susan M. Davis, LCSW (Beverly Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Be the Almost Perfect Husband: By Wives Who Know (Paperback)
What a great book! What every man should know - this is what women are really thinking and what they really need. As a couples therapist, these issues are dealt with everytime a couple comes into therapy. It is so important for men and women to understand one another. This book, and the companion book "How to be The Almost Perfect Wife" are great for couples to begin a dialogue into what they need from one another. Highly recommended!!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! A FANTASTIC BOOK!, January 24, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Be the Almost Perfect Husband: By Wives Who Know (Paperback)
WOW! This book is dynamite! I'm recommending it to every married person I know for Valentine's day, birthdays and anniversaries. My wife and I had tears streaming down our faces after seeing this book and the companion book on How to Be an Almost Perfect Wife: By Husbands Who Know. It is easy to read and is easy to find things. This is a LOT better than those VENUS books if you ask me!
