Product Description:
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.

Marriage... it isn't an easy adventure although it can be a rewarding one. And, as Steve Doocy shows, a sense of humor makes it even more so! The basics are addressed, from the wedding and the honeymoon to issues such as parenting, to even tips on how to live happily-ever-after. Take a glimpse inside the marriage of one of the hosts of Fox & Friends with THE MR. & MRS. HAPPY HANDBOOK: EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE AND MARRIAGE....
In a word, this book is hilarious! Steve Doocy has a quirky sense of humor that clearly shows through as he turns incidents that could have been disastrous into memorable and even humorous moments. THE MR. & MRS. HAPPY HANDBOOK: EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE AND MARRIAGE isn't an advice book but is instead an amusing reflection on marriage from one man's perspective. The side notes from Mrs. Doocy only add to the humor while keeping it balanced.
There are moments in this book that I laughed so I hard I cried! Steve Doocy's stories ... Read More

In the press of everyday life, it is easy to forget about the little things in life. Worried about work, we can overlook the beauty of a sunset. Consumed by paying bills, the small progress our children make each day may pass unnoticed.
It is often the little things that make life a joy or a source of sorrow. And The Mr. And Mrs. Happy Handbook, a heartwarming look at married life by Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy, shows how these small, everyday details can grow into laughter and memories. It will be these memories of good times that will sustain us through the hard times that every life will know, from time to time.
The author's sense of humor is evident on every page. His misadventures begin while he was courting his wife-to-be, and appear never to stop. The author's underlying message is that finding someone to share life's journeys will turn our time on Earth into a shared adventure. But finding someone to share laughter at misadventures we encounter along ... Read More

Beautifully written, with well rounded humor thrown in for extra good measure. Even though I have been married for 45 years I enjoyed it tremendously. I would recommend this book to anyone that is thinking of getting married on in their first five years of marriage. Shoot it's just good reading!!!!!

as watching paint dry. Maybe that explains the cut-rate price. How much does Murdoch pay you people to come on and write good reviews for such crappy writing?
