When my husband and I were out for a date night, we were talking about one of your books, and a couple nearby overheard us. The woman asked us which book we were talking about, so we told her. She had heard of you, but never listened or read any of your books.
My husband started to tell her of this “proper care and feeding of husbands” thing that I do that changed his life. He told her that the simple task of my bringing him a hot cup of coffee each morning has made him a better husband. The woman told him that she thought the man should wait on the woman, and my husband said, “Well, to quote Dr. Laura, call me when you husband finds someone new!” Then another couple joined the conversation, and the woman in that couple also thought the man should wait on the woman. It was priceless to see these husbands looking hopeful as MY husband tried to convince their wives otherwise. No such luck, but my husband WAS able to convince about ten guys who were there for a “boys’ night out” that your book would make a great gift.
We’re now known as “The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands” couple. Never a better compliment as far as I’m concerned!
