Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: Hey! You're in a Relationship!
Let's face it, we men don't know squat about relationships. We don't really do relationships. We do work, we do sports, we do cars, we do wars, and we do sex, but we don't really do relationships. Women do relationships. They like relationships.



Book Description

After thirty-five years of marriage and thirty years as a well-respected therapist and marriage counselor, Robert Alter has discovered three fundamental facts that can radically change the way couples solve their marital problems:

  1. Most men, deep in their hearts, want to be great husbands but don't know how.

  2. There are specific ways to relate to a woman, and specific ways not to. (In other words, a woman does come with an instruction manual!)

  3. The idea that men and women are equally responsible for the problems in a relationship is, quite frankly, a bunch of crap.

Based on the premise that a real man can take criticism and learn from it, this sure-to-be controversial book shows husbands how to get out of the proverbial dog house and back into the arms of a wife who wants them again. Through forty-four short, eye-opening chapters that don't pull any punches and cover such topics as "Is There Good Sex After Marriage?", "Is Your Wife a Nag?", "The Five Big Lies That Keep You from Changing", and "How to Know When You're Being a Man as Opposed to When You're Being an Asshole," both husbands and wives will find real-life, practical answers that lead to genuine change, understanding, and intimacy.

A journey to the marriage of your dreams, It's (Mostly) His Fault is for every couple that wants a new start-and a happy ending.
