Book Description

November 2, 2004
This is a book for two: Buy it together, read it together, fight over it together. This Book Will Change Your Love Life is a hilarious interactive book that encourages you to write down your issues with each other and document the unique details of your relationship for posterity. Record your first date, doodle in it together, write down your top ten orgasms, sort out your household chores, plan your trial separation, and much, much more. Filled with beautiful illustrations and demented tips on happy loving, this is the perfect gift book for couples of every orientation. It may lead to the odd divorce, but no couple worthy of the name will be without it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good start, but...., July 14, 2006
This review is from: This Book Will Change Your Love Life (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a big fan of the Benrik books, which give you wacky ways to live and ultimately change your life. However, this book somewhat falls short. I suppose I was expecting something similar to "This Book Will Change Your Life" in that I would be given ideas to turn a relationship into something truly bizarre/unique/meaningful. I wouldn't want ideas such as "Take a long romantic walk on the beach with your lover," but I would've preferred something such as "Test your communication skills by communicating for a full day with only your eyes, or caveman grunts" or "Have a heated fight in public, complete with throwing drinks at each other, and then passionately make up before the police arrive." (Perhaps I should take matters in my own hands and write my own book?)

Literally half of the book is devoted to the "Logbook," a place where you're supposed to communicate with your partner by either bitching at them for not doing the dishes or for informing them that you're three months pregnant. I find this to be excessive, and a waste of valuable space that couldve gone to actual content.

There isn't always enough room to really record the things that truly make your coupledom unique. I understand that the book was made in jest, but some of the questions that request you to fill in the answer are extremely rigid. For example, not everyone goes on a first date. A relationship could blossom without ever having truly "dated" at all, at least in the traditional sense.

Coming from an interesting pair such as Benrik, I was expecting to be introduced to a new, innovative way of looking at and handling relationships. However, it appears that the point of this book is to poke fun at the rigidity of many relationships' structure (ex. first date, first time having sex, living together, marriage, children, retirement, death). Benrik being who they are, I would've preferred that they celebrated the unusual and creative relationship.
