this should be an adult guidebook, married OR NOT

I finished this all in one shot and took a lot from it. I laughed and I cried once. life is heartbreaking but it's all worth it in the end no matter how it ends :)

Oh my God! This is Awesome!!!

UPDATED: Listened to the whole series! This is the best book on marriage I've ever read or listened to! Concise! To the point! Lively! It feels as if these were all my own experiences or experiences of close friends of mine! A must-read!


Just finished the 4th episode. Can't wait to go on! Just stopped for a sec to write this review. Everyone should listen to this! and much earlier! Not like me who was in a marriage for 20 years, fighting during a good 10 years of it. Losing sight of what is intimacy and closeness and thinking that it will never come back!
This series is fantastic! Excellent combination of real stories, doctors' advice, and good humor! I can definitely relate, at least to episodes 3 and 4. Let's see what comes next!

Fun yet factual. I learned a lot.

I really love Stephen's tongue in cheek sense of humour. I will have to check out his other offerings.
