Book Review
"If you're a married woman, buy this book. It's love insurance. Haltzman doesn't only understand men, he "gets" women too; he's bi-lingual. He'll help you understand why the things you do to get through to your husband don't always work and more importantly, what you can do you differently to get better results. His concrete, do-able, field-tested and practical tips will, without question, make your husband, your marriage and you happier and grateful you’ve followed his advice."-Michele Weiner-Davis, MSW, Author of Divorce Busting and Getting Through to the Man You Love
"Wives, what we've all been longing for has finally arrived. This masterpiece eliminates the womanly guesswork and illuminates the path to true marital happiness with honest, sincere, frank (and even humorous) information." -Sheryl P. Kurland, Relationship/Marriage Trainer, Author, Everlasting Matrimony: Pearls Of Wisdom From Couples Married 50 Years Or More www.EverlastingMatrimony.com

Haltzman's keen insight into male and female differences and insightful counsel about how to create marital happiness should be a read by all couples who want a formula for a passionate marriage. I heartily recommend this book to both men and women."-Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. Author, Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples

Blumberg Ph.D., coauthor, Fighting for Your Marriage and 12 Hours to a Great Marriage
Book Description
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 DiGeronmio 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. HaltzmanÕs clinical practice and culled from thousands of contributors to his Web site DrScott@HappilyMarriedWomen.com. They have learned to understand how men really work and tap into menÕs powerful hard-wired desire to please women and Òbe a better man.Ó
