By the Authors of the #1 New York Times Bestselling Phenomenon The Rules™

"Help! Now that I've married my Mr. Right, how do I stay married?"

The Rules™ For Marriage

In 1995 Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider published their first book, The Rules. A manual of do's and don'ts for single women seeking love and marriage, it started an international revolution in dating and became a #1 New York Times bestseller. Before long, women all over the world formed support groups to help them do The Rules and asked Ellen and Sherrie for more advice, inspiring the authors' second bestseller, The Rules II.

Now, in this new book, Ellen and Sherrie show you how to make that sometimes bumpy journey known as marriage as smooth as possible. They offer forty-two time-tested behaviors proven to keep couples together-and Mr. Right by your side forever!

• Rule #4: Keep up your own interests (have a life!)
• Rule #5: Lower your expectations in the first year
• Rule #15: Say what you mean, but don't say it mean
• Rule #19: Don't ask your single friends for marital advice
• Rule #21: Don't force him to "talk"
• Rule #31: Don't complain about the kids
• Rule #35: Don't find fault with things you knew about when you married him
• Rule #38: Don't go changin' or try too hard ...and if necessary
• Rule #42: Divorce with dignity.

Also included are rules for sex and pregnancy, rules for second marriages, and more helpful hints and comments from happily married women and men. So if problems like these sound familiar—"I love him, but not his parents," "I like sex in the morning, he likes it at night," "When we were dating, we did interesting things; now that we're married, he just watches TV"—The Rules™ For Marriage can help. You'll find it realistic, pragmatic, and eye opening-the perfect sequel to the book that may have led you to Mr. Right in the first place, The Rules.

You did The Rules—and they worked!
You captured the heart of your Mr. Right and are, at the very least, engaged. Or you've been married for years—perhaps you and your partner got together without the help of those time-tested guidelines.

Now you're looking for ways to keep your relationship happy and healthy.

The Rules™ For Marriage is here! Because women like you want realistic solutions, authors Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider again come to the rescue with a set of rules. Some will sound familiar, others are completely new. But they all lead to the same wonderful future: the one where you and your husband stay together forever!
