That was cute :)

[Caffection Mariah Byron · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a simple picture/maxim book that is well conceived, well paced, and filled with uplifting anecdotal information about happy couples and the joy they've discovered to, as the authors say, "form enduring bonds between two life partners." Through personal, shared anecdotes, the book addresses issues as serious as being newlyweds, to pet names (little sausage?), to being the captain of your relation--ship. The only drawback we found with the book was that it's too short, but a caffected marriage is, too, so...

Sorry to rate it so low. I have never rated 1 star. I finished this book in 1-2 hrs as it's so simple, without much nutrition. Maybe it's not the type of books I like, but I really didn't learn anything from it.

Cute little book that shows lots of examples of the quirky ways people show love in happy relationships.

[Julie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Delightful short vignettes of ways in which couples show love to one another. My favorite? Writing messages with a toothpick into a newly opened jar of peanut butter.

A delightful little book that points out the little things that the happiest couples do for each other. A heart warming read that reinforces the right behavior in couples.
