Is it worth it?
You've probably got to the point where you can predict the evening. He comes in, the TV goes on, you ask how his day was and get four words back. Nothing is wrong exactly. It just feels like you're sharing a house with someone rather than being married to them, and you don't want the next twenty years to look like this. That's who this ebook is for. Bob Grant's argument is that husbands want to be understood but genuinely can't explain themselves, and that a wife can shift the temperature of a marriage on her own by approaching him differently. Whether or not you buy the premise, the practical effect is a reframe. Instead of waiting for him to change, you get things to try yourself, which for a lot of people feels better than stuck. Treat the big promises as sales copy. He says your husband will feel like marrying you all over again, and the 50% divorce figure on the page is quoted off a website rather than anything he's researched. What you're actually buying is one experienced coach's perspective in ebook form, a much smaller outlay than counselling, though the page never says how small. The obvious limit is that it puts the whole job on you. If there's contempt, an affair, or anything frightening in your marriage, no download covers that and you want a real person.
Pros
- Written in plain language, you can read it in an evening
- Gives you something to actually do rather than just diagnosing the problem
- Instant download, nobody needs to know you bought it
- Costs a fraction of couples counselling
Cons
- Puts all the responsibility for change on the wife, which won't feel fair and sometimes isn't
- Page gives no price, page count or contents list before you commit
- There's a recurring charge involved, and the sales page doesn't explain what you're signed up to

Before you buy
