The back cover says that in this book there will be the rules to be on your way to a lifelong love and committment. These are rules that everyone should follow to be the best person in love that they can be...except there is a problem with this. None of these things are unheard of, and none of these rules are surprising. It seemed like he was stating the obvious more often than bringing something new to the table. It seemed like common sense...I did not learn anything new from reading these rules.
