5.0 out of 5 stars Filled with gold nuggets for improving your relationship, April 22, 2004

By	Kevin A. Decker "Relationship Author, Educato... (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As an Author, Coach, and Motivational Speaker I read alot of books about people, their motivations, and their relationships. Wow, How to Be the Almost Perfect Wife is a guys version of a relationship conversation. It's short, direct, and impactful.

Ladies, please read and act on the items listed in this book. Some of the most important for me are:

** Be my cheerleader. Believe that I have the talent to achieve my dreams, even if it takes longer than I ever imagined.

** I love it when you just listen to show you understand. I also love it when you challenge me with a different perspective.

** If I want to go to bed later than you it doesn't mean I don't love you. It means I want to go to bed later than you.

** Pounce on me unexpectedly

Get a copy of this book and use it in your relationship for fun, for passion, and for romance.

4.0 out of 5 stars good ideas, September 1, 2004

By	Sweet Girl (Arizona) - See all my reviews

There are many good ideas throughout this book. Some are obvious, but still a good bit of information. You can learn how to be the wife your husband desires. There is not a lot of depth, however. It is a collection of quotes and nothing more. Why not ask your husband how you can be his perfect wife?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Meaningful Conversation Starter, February 9, 2000

By A Customer

My husband and I read and thoroughly enjoyed this book (and its companion "How To Be The Almost Perfect Husband") on our last road trip to the mountains. We took turns driving/reading out loud and the five hours in the car flew by. Some of the suggestions really got us talking and we felt more connected than we had in a long time. The result was a truly romantic and loving weekend!
