When the Honeymoon is over . . .
The One Thing Every Bride Needs to Know After the Honeymoon is Over
While women spend months, sometimes years planning their dream wedding, buying the house etc., they rarely stop to think about what comes next: Living together! It can be fun, but it also can be a challenge. Author Carina Castelli reveals 70 secrets gleaned from her own relationship with her fiance, and 6 other contributors with more than 87 years of cohabitation experience, in her new humor book for brides: The Unofficial Manual to Living with Men.
Castelli’s must-have manual offers advice to newlyweds and addresses cohabitating couples‚ most common problems, like dealing with issues of dirty dishes, personal space, why he doesn’t hear a word you are saying while the TV is on, why he thinks it is okay to use your decorative hand towels for everyday use, and why he makes noises from under the sheets (Yuck!), plus she offers sane, lighthearted solutions.
The #1 Rule to Successful Co-habitation:
Let him think he is right! Even when he is wrong, even when he knows he is wrong, even when he knows that you know he is wrong, let him think he is right. He wins because he thinks he wins, and you win because you know he is slowly losing, and you’ll probably still get your way. Subtlety is brilliance!
Let Castelli share with your audience why this works every time!
With a girlfriend-to-girlfriend advice style, Castelli shows how to defy men’s outlandish ‘all women are crazy’‚ accusations, and conquer the household so subtly he’ll think he still wears the pants in the family - only she’ll know those pants are now pink!
Castelli moved in with her boyfriend after 6 months of dating and was shocked to find it wasn’t always as romantic and exciting as she thought it would be. Says the author, “I created this book because during my cohabitation journey, I wished I had a manual of some sort, something to offer me guidance, and let me know that my boyfriend’s and my differences were normal. If I could have found the answers in a book it would have been so much easier!” So she turned to a variety of women who were happily cohabitating and found the answers she needed to turn her living situation into cohabitation bliss. Almost four years later, and engaged, she now shares that advice in The Unofficial Manual to Living with Men, which can be found on Amazon.com.
