Ever since Eve asked Adam, "Do I look fat in this fig leaf?" it's been apparent that men don't know how to handle women. In THE MR. & MRS. HAPPY HANDBOOK, Steve Doocy advises all men and women on the questions that arise in their relationships (to the question above, the answer, clearly is "No hablo ingles"). This NYT bestseller is a funny, provocative, and yet hopeful look at husbands and wives. Riffing on everything from the first date, first kiss, to last rites, Doocy talks about the crazy arcs that each relationship takes–from dating, proposing, wedding, honeymooning, being married, having kids, to making it work (so you don't need a chapter on community property). Doocy has been married for twenty years, but he's not declaring this a self–help book. It's more of a Don't Try This At Home book. Doocy's an expert on what not to do, because he's already done all the dumb stuff– and he's learned from his mistakes. Plus, for anything he has not learned, and for additional WMD (women, men, dating) brilliance, Doocy has included bits and pieces from his celebrity interviews, which will make the reader feel simpatico with the rich and famous (i.e., "Henry Kissinger and I have something in common–we don't know squat about chicks!).
