Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: A Perfectly Funny Marriage appeals to both singles who are interested in relationships and marriage and also to married couples.

Q: What is the book about?
A: A Perfectly Funny Marriage helps readers to explore the pre-marital stages of self-discovery, friendship, and relationship building, as well as many aspects of marriage. Each page includes a single step for success illustrated by an insightful and funny cartoon. The steps include such important topics as being honest, building unity in spite of differences, and practicing partnership with home and parenting responsibilities. The cartoons guarantee you will laugh at the humorous aspects of every serious step. For example, a cartoon showing a husband discouraging his wife kissing him while reading a book about how to be more romantic demonstrates how to “be romantic with one another and increase intimacy between you…”.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I’m (Susanne M. Alexander) a relationship and marriage coach with a passion for educating people in unique ways about how to be successful. Humor is a great way to facilitate learning. Besides which, research shows that couples who have fun together are more likely to stay together!

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: This is the first relationship and marriage education cartoon book on the market.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Through this book, I want people who are not yet married to learn the steps for how to be successfully married. I also want married couples to enjoy the journey back through the marriage preparation stages as well as see what will enrich their marriages now. Humor helps people to lighten up and be open to seeing what there is to learn from the characters pictured. The cartoonists help people to see what is nuts about their lives and the lives of others and cues them to look at what to do differently. I hope that the humor in A Perfectly Funny Marriage opens the door to a willingness to learn more deeply what makes a relationship and marriage work well. A good cartoon is one that still makes you smile, laugh, and think, even when you have seen it before.

I used well-known and insightful cartoonists such as Randy Glasbergen and Dave “Speed Bump” Coverly, as well as new cartoonists. Scott Haltzman, MD, author of The Secrets of Happily Married Men and The Secrets of Happily Married Women, says, “This delightful book shows how the path to a splendid marriage can be both meaningful and fun! Every couple, from their first date to their 50th wedding anniversary, should have it close at hand.”

A Perfectly Funny Marriage is available through various bookstores. For more information, including sample pages, see our website: http://www.marriagetransformation.com/store_FunnyMarriage.htm

Marriage Magic! Find It, Keep It, and Make It Last by Karen Sherman, Ph.D., and Dale Klein, M.A.

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | October 25th, 2007

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: The high divorce rate is a statistic that is well known. In my private practice (K. Sherman), I became aware that even though many couples were choosing to stay together, they felt their partnership was stale and flat. Marriage Magic! is written for any couple, married or not, who is in a committed partnership but has realized that the zest is gone.

Q: What is the book about?
A: This is a self-help book that offers tools to revitalize a relationship. And these tools are effective regardless of whether one or both people read it. Initially, the misconceptions about a relationship are exposed. Then, vignettes are provided to help couples identify different emotions they might be feeling, followed by explanations and exercises. The book is purposely set up to afford the reader flexibility in the way it is used so that it has the greatest applicability to the couple.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: As a psychologist specializing in relationships, I certainly have years of experience and knowedge in this area. This was further enhanced by teaming up with a communications expert. The combination of these two specialties are a wonderful marriage of expertise for this subject matter.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?

A: While many self-help books in this area focus on teaching good communication skills, these authors’ unique approach is to identifiy something that is missing in the readers’ relationship. In order for couples to gain a sense of authenticity, they must first become a aware of their own emotions and deal with them. This allows communication to truly serve its purpose without the burden of emotional barriers.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Not only is the book easy to read but it makes sure to present situations that are from the perspective of both men and women. It is set up in a format that is very user friendly.
