Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
One woman undertakes a worldwide search to learn the secrets of a great marriage—and finds one foundational truth that could change everything.Fawn Weaver was a happily married woman running a successful business—and then something happened. Maybe it was divorce rate reports on the evening news, The Real Housewives of Orange County, or any daytime talk show where husbands and wives dramatically reveal their betrayals. Everywhere she looked, Fawn saw negative portrayals of marriage dominating the airwaves and dooming everyone to failure. Looking at Keith, the love of her life, she knew that wasn’t true. She was determined to find and connect with women just like her—happy and optimistic about marriage, deeply in love with her spouse, and committed to building a strong marriage that stands the test of time. On a whim,she started the blog HappyWivesClub.com and sent the link to a few of new friends. What started as a casual invitation to five women exploded into an international online club with 150,000 members in more than 100 countries. Happy Wives Club is Fawn’s journey across the world to meet her friends and discover what makes their marriages great. Join her on this exciting, exotic trip across six continents and through more than eighteen cities. Walk the streets of Mauritius, the historic ruins in Italy, and the vistas of New Zealand and Australia. Go from Cape Town to London, Manila to Buenos Aires, Winnipeg to Zagreb. Along the way, you will meet everyday women whose marriage secrets span cultures. You will hear their stories, witness their love, and be inspired by the proof that happy, healthy marriages do exist—and yours can be one of them! It turns out great marriages are all around us—when we look for them. Go on a trip with Fawn and learn the best marriage secrets the world has to offer.

I’m not a fan of the travelogue style interspersed with interviews that felt random. But more importantly the author’s tone felt smug to me, and I kept thinking I wouldn’t hand this book to wives I know who are struggling in marriage. The book highlights successful marriages where the wives seem to......more

Goodreads review by Emma

I really enjoyed this! It was refreshing to hear stories of marriages built on mutual respect and trust. Selflessness and sacrifice are so heavily discouraged in today’s society, it was encouraging to read of other’s who worked to serve and love their spouses.......more

I read this a few weeks ago and forgot about it until I was going through my Kindle this morning and saw the book on my shelves. Oops! This was a different book for me especially since I am not married or even engaged right now so you wouldn't think this book would work/pertain to me. But I stumbled......more
