So, this is another book that you can not judge by the title. The book is called "Strangling Your Husband is NOT an Option: A Practical Guide to Dramatically Improving Your Marriage" by Merrilee Browne Boyack. I LOVE this book. I read it in a day and I usually take a few months to get through a book. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is married or in a serious relationship. Merrilee goes through some of the common problems that people have in marriage and has a very humorous way to solve them. On of my favorite stories that she tells is about the time that she decided they needed to have date night. They had several kids and busy lives but she decided it was important. So, being a good wife she told her husband, scheduled a babysitter, and got all dressed up. Well, after she got home with the babysitter she went to the den to get her husband and he told her that he didn't want to do....he just didn't feel like it. Well, she said, ok and left. She went out to dinner and shopping. She came home and took the babysitter home. Well, later that night he asked how her evening was and she told him great! No guilt. Well, next week she thought that there would be no more misunderstandings and so she lined up another babysitter. Well, he did it again! So, again she went out and had a great time by herself and came home relaxed. That was the last time her husband did that...or ever tried to skip date night! Goes to show you that you just have to take action when you want something done and people will come around. She has so many other great stories and insights like that.
