review 1: This book applies economic principals to marriage - stuff like supply and demand, negotiating with incentives and game theory. Usually when I read relationship books, I have a hard time getting through them because they tend to be boring. This book, on the other hand, was a perfect storm of facts, real-world examples and humor. Every time I sat down with it, I was excited. Very well-written - it feels more like a conversation with a friend than a book. At the same time, it delivered some powerful advice, some of which, like their ideas on how to stop nagging, has helped us out quite a bit.
review 2: The book solved my purpose. I was looking for some case studies to talk about in a family studies course at a university. Got quite a few to try to keep the st... moreudents awake for 3 hr long classes.Apart from that, the book is not anything "groundbreaking" as it keeps claiming it to be. It is mostly commonsense where the economists showed how the solutions were in economics. That makes me deduce, economics is commonsense.... which I think is not far from the truth. The book did have some tongue-in-cheek humor. The book may have reinforced my commonsense or gave my common sense some scientific basis.If I didn't have my personal interests, I would not have gone very far with this book. Well, in that case I would have not even ever thought about reading such a book. less
