“It’s a must-read for all woman with the
mother of all ‘M’ words on their mind
(marriage or mortgage)…”
Next Magazine
“It’s serious advice told in a humorous tone
by a bloke for blokes — but it will open a few
girls’ eyes too.”
Otago Daily Times
“An entertaining yet informative guide to
ensuring you really are ready for marriage.”
Bride & Groom Quarterly
Make the big commitment and we all know it’s a slippery slope: engagement ring, wedding, mortgage, nappies. The end of life as you know it.
Love & Logic
But what do you do when she delivers the dreaded ultimatum and you don’t want to commit or pack your bags?
Girls — Find out why your boyfriend will do just about anything to avoid making a commitment.
Guys — Find out why your girlfriend (and her mother) are always on your case about getting married, and why love and logic just don’t go together.
