The Second Happy: Seven Practices to Make Your Marriage Better Than Your Honeymoon by Kevin And Marcia Myers
Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.

Just not relevant to my life at this time and I read a lot of work that was much better than it. The faith based shit sort of got to me too but I'm sure it would be fine for other people.

Wonderful read. Sad it's on the banned book list- I can see why it might have ended up there but I just don't really see the point. Heartwarming, engrossing, becoming involved with the characters. Very fortunate across the board. Great read.

A lot of exercises. I think would have been more helpful if I was in a more committed relationship ATM but still helpful information!

I didn't give this book the attention it deserved perhaps but it was an interesting read and reflection on life in Denmark during Nazi occupation.
