I am happy to announce a new book I have co-written with my wife Kate. Have you ever filled out a Valentine’s Day, birthday, or anniversary greeting card and wished you had more room to convey all the things you appreciate about your partner? What I Love About You (Broadway Books, January 2007) lets you express the many ways you cherish your special someone. The prompts are fun, evocative, easy to answer, and encourage intimacy, such as:
- If we’d met in a comic strip, the thought bubble over my head would have read:
- We clicked because we were: a) bread and butter, b) two peas in a pod, or c) sweet and sour.
- I first knew I loved you when:
- I’m glad I listened to you, or wish I had, when you said:
- I get a kick out of watching you:
My wife filled this out for me and gave it to me on our anniversary. Reading her loving words really choked me up. In over twenty year of marriage, this was the best and more personal present I have received from Kate. I will treasure it always. As I then filled one out for her birthday, I felt so close to her, remembering all the reasons we first fell in love, and forgetting the petty scwabbles of the day. After she read it she hugged me so tight I could hardly breathe. Wow.
Have fun filling it out and giving it,
David Marshall
