My Review


I am grateful that I had an opportunity to read How two: Have a Successful Relationship. Some empowerment books can tend to read like an academic textbook which makes them hard to be relatable. That was not this case with Maude and Phil's book. 

I liked how they organized their material which included interviews with themselves, other couples, and then a breakdown of their relationship material. What struck me most about this book was their advice to be comfortable with yourself. This is momentous in having a fruitful and peaceful bond with your partner.

I found this book to be chock full of good, solid advice. It's a quick read and worth checking out!
