Great Book for Anyone in a relationship! I actually bought one copy for my step-daughter and one for me! I actually attended the "Women's Weekend" in the early 90's and spent time in the Woman's groups. I know what it meant to me and my step-daughter was having relationship problems and I thought it would be great support for her! After I read my copy I am sharing it with women I work with!. I use this book constantly in my relationship I have been happily married for 15 years now. My relationship has survived infertility, the birth of our child, sickness, boredom, and every other little thing that goes wrong in a normal long-term exclusive relationship. Every time my husband and I get into a fight, I read this book. It was highly recommended to me by a friend. I read this book and I look at our relationship and I stop being mad. Thank God this book shows me how some other women live!Every rule in the book I break. All the time. I win arguments (when I am right). I get my way (sometimes). I expect my husband to change his annoying habits (and I change mine). I don't . Solve 95% of relationship problems? Try 100% Oh boy, where to begin? I remember when I first stumbled upon WRWWM.

Up to that point, I had been liberally helping myself to her stationary supplies and dried goods in a tacit exchange for my services as a cat sitter, but after discovering WRWWM and permanently borrowing it, I felt like we were even-steven.If you're a woman, this may be the last book you ever read because after you read it, you'll probably decide
This guide, which promises women that they can "solve 95% of their relationship problems (and cope with the rest)" is preachy, nagging and often exasperating. Sterling's premise seems to be that all males are jerks, so women should stop whining and accept the situation if they want to be close to a man. Particularly disturbing is Sterling's assertion that "Men have 'killer' instincts" and will do anything to get what they want. Hence, women must "stroke his ego"--and "treat him like a hero."
