How to Live with a Man: And Love It Book

This is sort of a tongue-in-cheek manual for women on how to make co-habitation with your fella more enjoyable, how to be the perfect woman for him, how to get him to lock it down, etc. It features lots of vintage-y 1950s-60s photos and plays off of all those guides that were so popular back in our parents' day. There's lots of common sense & good advice for relationships here, but delivered in a comically vintage way. The talk of using positive reinforcement on your man reminded me of the Doris Day / Bobby Darin movie When A Man Answers (I think that's the one) where she trains her husband to behave better secretly using tips from a dog training manual.

Worick suggests such ideas as "schedule a time to be spontaneous, as contrary as that may sound"; or when designing the baby nursery theme you may consider an outer space theme because "aliens are always nifty". :-) But one tip she gives I know to be undeniably false in our house - "Make baked beans and leave out the bacon. He will never miss that smoky pork product." LOL, well I figure if my fella is bringing home the bacon, least I can do is cook it for him! Judging from the grins he gets when he smells me making it, I can guarantee he'd miss it if I said nope, never again. So there's some fun tips and whatnot here, but my favorite part was just all the cool art & funny (but seriously, these are handy!) charts
