What was the best about this book is all the motivation it offered me to work towards making my marriage more passionate, more Mediterranean. It was an easy read, but filled with SO MUCH to make your marriage a love for the ages. I also liked that they weren't showing me how great their marriage and throwing that in my face and offering up unreachable expectations for me to accomplish. Everything they talk about in this book, you and I are capable of doing. It's all implementable. 

Probably the best marriage book I have read to date.
