Scott Haltzman & Theresa Foy DiGeronimo 
The Secrets of Happily Married Women 
How to Get More Out of Your Relationship by Doing Less

From the authors of the best-selling The Secrets of Happily
Married Men comes the much-anticipated follow-up book The
Secrets of Happily Married Women. In their first book, Dr.
Haltzman and his coauthor Theresa Foy Di Geronmio outlined a recipe
for men about growing a happy marriage: treat marriage with the
same sense of purpose, resolve, and single-minded devotion that
they have for their job. Although that workplace formula works well
for men, an entirely different set of criteria resonate with women.

In The Secrets of Happily Married Women, Dr. Haltzman
tells us stories from real women who are happy in their
relationships. These women know how to get more out of their
partners by doing less, by not trying so hard to make men perfect,
not dragging them to couples therapy, not expecting them to think
or behave like a woman. These are women from Dr. Haltzman’s
clinical practice and culled from thousands of contributors to his
Web site href=’http://www.Happily Married Women.com’>www.Happily Married Women.com.
They have learned to understand how men really work and tap into
men’s powerful hard-wired desire to please women and ‚be a better
man.‘
