Synopsis

Steve Doocy, co-host of Fox & Friends, who has been married twenty consecutive years, provides real slice of life stories on everything from early marriage, pregnancy, and the joys of child rearing, to sending your child to college and retirement.

The book can be used for its hilarious husband and wife wisdom, or if things aren't going well, it can be used as a flying 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 and his collection of friends and family have already discreetly made almost every conceivable marriage mistake, and it is their hope that this irreverent manual can save you the trouble of being an idiot on your own.

Most stories conclude with "corrections" from Doocy's real life wife Kathy, who after two decades of picking up his socks in the garage, has developed a zany sense of humor herself.

Let's face it, marriage is ridiculously hard, but laughing about it is now incredibly easy, with The Mr. & Mrs. Happy Handbook.

From AudioFile:

There can never be too many guides to staying married, especially when they're as funny and insightful as this one. The Fox News Channel broadcaster shares hilarious anecdotes from his twenty-year marriage, as well as tongue-in-cheek advice for men on staying out of trouble with their wives. Steve Doocy is a humble teacher with a big heart who speaks with zesty appreciation for his one and only; his speaking voice conveys a perspective that both men and women will enjoy. However, his exaggerated speaking style will seem overreaching to some and too often competes for attention with his ideas. But with snippets of advice from his calmer-sounding wife to keep things in perspective, the production ultimately entertains.
