5.0 out of 5 stars Great tips for husbands! June 10, 2012

By CuteEverythingcom TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Format:Hardcover

Stuff Every Husband Should Know, by Eric San Juan, focuses on marriage and fatherhood. It would make an ideal gift for an engaged, newly-wed, or young, married man. Sections regard issues for one's wife, home, and family. Once again, they suggest acting considerately, while providing honest and simple directions to many of life's basics. Yet, many are clever and offer a bit of humor along the way. For example, How to Drive Together in Peace includes the tidbit, "She controls the climate. You're a man. You'll deal with it." Similarly, Stuff You Should Learn How to Say, suggests that happy marriages are built on generous use of the following: "You look beautiful;" "I was wrong;" "I love you;" "You're right;" "Dinner was delicious;" "I shouldn't have done that, I'm sorry;" and, "Would you like a back rub?" Other sections include tips on everything from how to unclog a drain, on how to not fight over money, and Vacations to Make Everyone Happy. It all sounds like good advice to me! Plus, if your parents didn't teach you how to have a good marriage, or weren't a great example of it, then Stuff Every Husband Should Know can be an invaluable resource. I know I can use all the help I can get!
