I think this book is a must read for any wife. I plan to buy a copy for my daughter who isn't even dating anyone serious yet and put it away for her to read during her one-day engagement period. I loved learning about the different cycles in marriage, the "SeeSaw principle" (keeping emotional balance), and "NMP" (not my problem; don't try to fix everyone's problems). My favorite quote from the book: "you can't 'fall out of love,' because love is something you decide". I admit the title of this book made me feel a bit uncomfortable (I actually read this one 'in hiding' so my husband wouldn't see the cover because I really do not feel like strangling him and I didn't want him to think I was feeling that way. I just want to understand his needs better and learn to be a better wife). This book got me focusing on my weaknesses more than my husband's, and gave me some tools that I can use to make his life journey with me (and,therefore, MY journey too) more enjoyable!
