SUMMARY:
Based on effective communication between a husband and wife, Rick Johnson shares thoughts, ideas and activities to keep a marriage strong.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
Though perhaps a bit stereotypical, I did find the thinking process and thought differences between men and women quite on the mark. The personal stories and information contained in the book made it an interesting read. Suggestions were included at the end of each chapter for building intimacy (holding hands, building each other up, communicate often, enjoying time together). Though not necessarily new ideas, Romancing Your Better Half reminds spouses that marriage takes time, effort and communication to become strong, enduring, enjoyable and important. Author of many popular books, Rick Johnson is also the founder of Better Dads.

RATING:
4 (out of 5) pennies
