“When God means for two people to be together for life, nothing can stand in the way. Not even nose voltage, ice packs, drunk puppies, or PMS.”  Laura Jensen Walker

Men and women are worlds apart when it comes to their definitions of romance. He thinks camping and drive- thru meals will stoke the love fires. She wants romantic weekends at the Hyatt and candlelight dinners. Mix in the fact that they use entirely different languages, and you have the ingredients for either an interesting relationship or all out war.

Laura shares real-life stories of people in the ever-evasive search for the perfect match.  Eventually, however, they all learn that Mr./Miss Right is not the same as Mr./Miss Perfect.

 

Filled with humor, Love Handles for the Romantically Impaired depicts couples who have successfully weathered the relational storms and  have learned to celebrate their differences.

 

I read the book in one sitting, snickering and chuckling aloud. Finally, my husband couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to know what was so funny. As I read my favorite bits to him, he couldn't help but laugh as well.

 

Love Handles for the Romantically Impaired is not a counseling book, but instead is a fun look at how to appreciate the love of your life.
