Funny, honest and truthful, this book can’t do the washing but it might just save your marriage.

‘Funny, honest and helpful.’ Grazia

'This book can help preserve the greatest gift you will ever give your baby: a loving relationship between the baby's parents.' John Gottman, author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work

How did I become the ‘expert’ at changing a nappy? Jancee Dunn wondered.

This, combined with a lack of sleep, a suddenly unfair division of household chores and her husband’s new found passion for very long bike rides, meant that Jancee found it hard to look at her well-meaning, clever, funny husband playing with his iPhone without feeling a white-hot rage.

Like many expectant parents, they’d spent weeks researching the safest car seat but little time thinking about the titanic impact the baby would have on their marriage — and the way their marriage would affect their child.

Tired of having the same fights over and over, Dunn consults the latest relationship research, solicits the counsel of renowned sex and couples therapists, canvasses friends and parents, and even consults an FBI hostage negotiator on how to effectively contain an ‘explosive situation’.

Could it be that the person who got her into this position is the ally she'd forgotten she had?

Funny, honest and actually helpful, this book can’t do the washing but it might just save your marriage.

London Mums

Straightforward, humorous writing.

Washington Post

Equal parts romp and eye-opener, as [Dunn] tackles relationship self-help from every angle and through many experts and therapists. A few chapters in, one goop staffer had already photographed a dozen pages to send to her spouse.
