Working mom? Want to feel completely awful about the decisions you've made in life? Gained some weight since you were married? Would you like to drive that depression in deeper? Read this, and you will accomplish it all!
There is a reason why there are newer books on the market to help us LDS women with issues regarding our marriage. The 1980s were different. This book and it's advice made me so depressed about myself, my decisions in life, and my worthiness of being a wife that I couldn't look at myself in the mirror for weeks. I finally skimmed through the rest of the book, and I am calling it quits.

Ha ha...so when I was at the library getting "Tuesdays with Morrie" I saw this book next to it and was curious. They also have one that is called "What wives expect of husbands"...so I got that for Brad:) It was written in the eighties, and I think I might just flip through it, but so far it has been a good reminder of how to keep marriage "Strong and alive":)! I'll tell you if it works!
