If you like books such as Freakanomics, you are going to love Spousonomics: Using Economics to Master Love, Marriage, and Dirty Dishes. Premise: treat marriage like a business partnership, and your problems will fix themselves.
“Spousonomics is one of the most delightful, clever, and helpful books about marriage I’ve ever seen.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and Committed.
“Practical, compelling, and hilarious, Spousonomics highlights economics-based strategies for couples coping with the inevitable annoyances of a relationship. How can you coax him to do chores without nagging? Or change her mind about important decisions, quit yelling at the kids, or step away from the computer? The minute I finished this book, I started to experiment on my husband.”—Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project.
My friend Amy turned me on to The Happiness Project just this morning.
