Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Be successful in this marriage and all of your future marriages

Do you want him to be more attentive and loving? Do you want her to get off your back about being more attentive and loving when all you want is some toys without the hassle?

Have fun again...with Points
Points are the currency of the relationship. Use them like frequent flier miles to put the fun back in your life--without really doing anything. Points work right away, and the book Points is cheaper than a marriage counselor and less messy than a lobotomy.

"Points saved all of my marriages."--Marvin Hartwick

Guys: learn how to say: "Great falafel leftovers, hon," and get some golf time.

Gals: get what you want without asking (Men: you can too, but you have to ask)

Includes great topics like:
Men wouldn't be so selfish if they were women
How guys can earn points and still be lazy
Why women really do control the universe
Tips like: Guys: if you say: "Nice shoes," better be careful that she is not just pumicing her bunions.

Sure, Points is a parody of relationship books--but it makes more sense than any of them. It's a funny, practical and flippant survival guide for relationships from a layman's perspective. And, it comes complete with a handy cheat sheet of point values and durations; and humorous anecdotes and tips.

This book could be as useful in bathrooms as toilet paper.

With Points, you can be successful in this marriage, and all of your future marriages, in a few easy steps.

Points, the irreverent relationship guide.
Buy a copy for each of you (in case, you know, you separate)

About the Author
Glebe is a regular guy, an ordinary Joe, a little guy. He understands things in a very practical, and unique, way--a Glebe point of view. He has expertise in, well, nothing, and fresh thoughts on everything. He is quirky, profound, relevant, and very funny.

Having been exposed to over seven divorces (four happy ones, two unhappy ones and one of his own), he knows as much about nothing as anyone walking the planet--and that includes Doctors Phil, Brothers, Ruth, and Weinstein (my dentist) and Dears Abby and Ann, et al.

My wife bought me this book and she told me not to come home until I was finished reading!! I was a little skeptical at first...but when I read the book, I have to say....Glebe is right on the money. I was able to learn alot from this book...and now I get to sleep in the same room as my wife again...earning points like a champ these days and my marriage is much more stable because of it. I like the humorous anecdotes as well....
I definitely recommend this book...Thanks Glebe!
