This is a great book for men looking to make their marriage stronger. If you love your wife, you will read this book over and over. I read this book about once every year since I've gotten married.
"...No one thing has the potential to shape your life--your identity as a man--more than your marriage." So says Scott Haltzman, author of this cut-and-dried, practical book on how a man can make his marriage better. I enjoyed the read, and learned plenty of simple (though sometimes common-sensical) tips for keeping my wife happy. It's no surprise that most of Haltzman's advice is about putting the needs of your wife and family above your own.
The most interesting part of the book was when he breaks down the science of the differences between men's and women's brains, and therefore how they interpret the world. It definitely cleared a few things up for me and helped me to be more patient with beliefs and actions of my wife that simply didn't make sense to me before.
A very accessible book. As a woman, it provides invaluable insight into male/husbands actions and how men think. Being told the possible flaws of marriage therapy was both surprising and honest. Dr. Haltzman guides the reader with straight-forward writing and examples that every married person can relate to. Readers must look elsewhere for deep psychology (i.e. the impact of traumatic childhood experiences upon a marriage etc.) But for anyone entering a marriage or wanting to enhance the quality of their marriage...don't hesitate to read this book.
When it comes to marriages, no one has the template for a happy and lasting marriage. However, it takes each stakeholder's effort to make it work. It is neither the husband's responsibility nor the wife's to keep it together. Books like The Secrets of Happily Married Men: Eight Ways to Win Your Wife's Heart Forever by Scott Haltzman provide practical advice on how to have a happy marriage. No pontificating. Just the truth. MEN - You need to get your act together. Stop tomfoolery and other cheeky games. Live with your wives (that is, if you work far from your family or you work late/don't have time for family because being away drives you apart). That's the main message I got from this book. And oh, marriage counselling doesn't work.
While men need to take control of their marriages and love, respect, and cherish their wives, it takes two to tango. There are tips for women too. This book is the only one I have read so far that is neutral and impartial, that is practical. It is a perfect manual for learning how to have a happy marriage.
“The Secrets of Happily Married Men” has been authored by real men, and is meant for real men who set out for the Grand Prize, which is none other than having a happy and well-contented wife. It discloses the secrets of sex, health and well being, and acts as a roadmap leading both men and women to the land of bliss. The book narrates the stories of several happily married men from real life, who have felt it their duty to inspire love in the hearts of their partners. Though written with a captivating sense of humor, the book is not lacking in deep analysis, and instructions based on biological differences and male neurology. It spells out gender brain differences, and the sexual developments from adolescence to full manhood. In addition, there are intimate confessions made by real men to the women they love. Thus, it is an indispensable reference to husbands or would-be husbands. The book is collaboratively written by Scott Haltzman, a psychiatrist and behaviorist at Browning University, and Theresa Foy Digeronimo, an associate professor of English at William Patterson.
Most of my friends have been married for over twenty years. We all have marital issues. This book speaks the language of man - "make your marriage your job" and spells out 8 steps to practice the adage "a happy wife is a happy life". Even though the targeted audience are men, women will find the book informative too, particularly from the male perspective of the relationship. I would recommend this book to all my friends, especially my male friends.
Every woman should read this book for two reasons: 1) it's such a kick to hear how men really operate and what strategies work for them, rather than to read some New Age garble about how they should be, and 2) author Scott Haltzman is so clearly on the side of men and in a way that supports women. He's a coach with a rallying cry of "come on, fellas, we can make our women happy."
