It will appeal to men who want to have more sex, less nagging, and wives who adore them. In short, GOOD HUSBAND, GREAT MARRIAGE is the book for everyone.

GOOD HUSBAND, GREAT MARRIAGE is a hard-hitting, no-nonsense guidebook for men and women to help them fix their marriages. Robert Alter’s central, controversial argument: the man is primarily responsible for the marital problems. Alter says to women: ‘You are right to want what you want from him.’ He says to men: ‘Stop thinking it’s your wife’s fault, and transform yourself into the good husband you know you have in you.’ In 44 short chapters, Alter describes the problem areas men face and what actions they can take to fix them. Alter’s approach is straightforward and logical; he speaks to men in a language they understand.
