Ever since Eve asked Adam, "Do I look fat in this fig leaf?" it has
been apparent that husbands don't know how to relate to their
wives. Men believe they understand women and vice versa, but really
men know as much about women as a cocker spaniel knows about
assembling a Weber grill.Welcome to The Mr. & Mrs. Happy
Handbook, Steve Doocy's laugh-out-loud perspective on love,
marriage, and family. The book can be used for its hilarious
husband and wife wisdom or, if things aren't going well, as a
projectile to get somebody's attention. This is not an advice book.
It is a don't even think of trying this book. The author, his
family, and his collection of friends (some very famous in the
worlds of entertainment, business, and politics) have already
discreetly made almost every conceivable marriage mistake, and it
is their hope that this irrev- erent manual can save you the
trouble of being an idiot on your own.Doocy, co-host of Fox &
Friends, who has been married for twenty consecutive years,
provides real slice-of-life stories on everything from early
marriage ("I love you, you're perfect, now wear this thong") and
pregnancy ("You're eating for two? Who-- you and Shaquille
O'Neal?") to sending your child to college ("Is that a funnel?")
and retirement (high-fiber appetizers on Viagra dates). Most of the
stories conclude with "corrections" and additional wise words from
Doocy's real-life wife, Kathy, who, after two decades of picking up
Steve's socks in the garage, has developed a zany sense of humor
herself. There is also a handy troubleshooting section for when
things go haywire, like during the eye- opening experiment
undertaken especially for this book, wherein the author wanted to
prove to his wife that they were perfect for each other, so he had
them join an on-line dating service. Out of a database of several
hundred thousand guys, he was not in her top 532 local men. Despite
the fact that their one- month experiment ended a year ago, she's
still getting photographs of single men whose head shots appear to
have been taken at a recent skinhead convention. Luckily for him,
she still prefers "bonehead to skinhead." This book is a
celebration of the pageantry that is wedlock, which starts with an
"I do" and sometimes ends with a boiled rabbit. Let's face it,
marriage isn't always as smooth as a forty-year-old's forehead
after six months of Botox. In fact, marriage is ridiculously hard,
but laughing about it is now incredibly easy with The Mr. &
Mrs. Happy Handbook.
