Life Sentence: The Guy's Survival Guide to Getting Engaged and Married [Paperback]

J. D. Smith (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 1999

THE FIRST THING THEY PRONOUNCE YOU IN LIFE IS "HUSBAND AND WIFE". THE NEXT THING IS "DEAD".

Up till now, preparing for marriage was a lot like preparing for death: You didn't know what was ahead and there was nothing you could do about it anyway! LIFE SENTENCE changes all that with honest, guy-to-guy advice and counsel. Think of it this way: It's like getting your grubby hands on the other team's playbook before the big game. Which is why it's the one book they -- girlfriends, fiancees, and divorce lawyers -- don't want you to read. You'll gain valuable insights into:

BEING ENGAGED: It's the romantic equivalent of being in cyberspace. The ring is like signing a lease with an option to buy.

FIDELITY: If you think that fidelity is a raw deal, remember that she made the same deal. With you. You're the last guy she gets.

GOLF: Never, ever play with her.

this was a quick, funny book that both my HUSBANDand I loved. If I wasn"t already married I would have bought it for him anyway . Some really great stories that made us really laugh. I suggest this book to all men, married,engaged,divorced and to women too.

This review is from: Life Sentence: The Guy's Survival Guide to Getting Engaged and Married (Paperback)

The only other book that has caused me to laugh out loud as much was, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Sadly, this information is as frightening as it is funny.

I've already purchased two to give to friends, and I'll have to get more. Any male who is about to get hitched should read this and weep. It's the terrible truth. I know. I've been there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely hilarious, realty based and useful guide., March 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Life Sentence: The Guy's Survival Guide to Getting Engaged and Married (Paperback)

I had the privilage of reading the manuscript of this absolutely hysterical Guy's Survival Guide.

As I read it, I had the feeling I was sitting around with my buddies talking truthfully about the realities of women, dating and marraige. I felt totally understood by the author as he brilliantly described the nuances of relationships between men and women.

In addition to its brilliant humor, it's also very informative and helpful for men seeking a lifetime mate.

Whether married or single you will find this Guide extremely funny. It's as if the book was written about you and your experiences with women, dating, engagement and marraige. Buy it and laugh your face off.
