Cute gift book - fun for parties and individuals. Examples of rules: Save Money - You will need it sometime. Save it now because you don't know when sometime will be.; Make Up - This is the only good thing about fighting. One of you apologizes (him). Then you kiss and make up. And whatever else.; Never argue about politics - What difference does it make? (Do you think politicians argue about you?)

I am...unimpressed. They say--guys like leftovers, so leave him some. Don't think the woman should be doing all the cooking--not a problem, just buy something and wrap it up. Um....maybe he could share cooking? Did this not occur to you?

Maybe it's just the fact my SO isn't a neanderthal, but most of these were borderline between stupid, not applicable, and insulting. Go do what he wants to do because it's more important to do something together (I agree with this--but only if the reverse also occurs, which was not mentioned).

There were a few gems--such as save money, grow old with him, like the presents he gives you. But they were surrounded by utter muck. Can't say I recommend the book.
