Rick & Bubba's Guided to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage by Rick Burgess & Bill "Bubba" Bussey

What do you get when you take "the two sexiest fat men in America" and let them write a book about marriage? You get Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage, that's what. The title seems to really say it all here. These two radio hosts from Alabama have offered up a guide for having "the almost nearly perfect marriage" whether you are thinking about marriage, engaged, or have been married for years. They offer advice on such topics as communication, apologizing (for men) and even the art of finding lost car keys.

Drawing from a total of 30+ years of marriage combined, these two men have written a book chock full of their personal experiences when it comes to being married. The book is full of funny stories about each mans marriage and how they handle things within it. One of the things that I would like to have seen would have been for the book to have been broken down into topics with stories that related to such things. As it is, there are great stories, but the moral behind those stories is sometimes lost (at least for me). Although I did not find any necessarily new advice in the book, (save for a Top Ten list here and there) I still felt it was a worthwhile read. The humor, honesty and sarcasm laced throughout the book make it well worth the time to sit down and read what Rick and Bubba have to say on the topic of holy matrimony. I would recommend this book to couples I know who are thinking of becoming engaged, almost engaged, or even newly married. So if you have a chance, check out Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage.

Peace and Love y'all.
