This book could also be titled "My Greatest Misjudgments - For Re-reading and Improving." Stefan Schwarz addresses the questions, puzzles, and wonders of a consistently imperfect relationship. The man of average height and very moderate tolerance learns that divorce can lead to weight loss, stands up against arrogant go-getters, prevents his father from being sidelined, has to explain why he keeps his eyes closed during sex, discovers that sliding doors can dampen outbursts of anger, feels snagged by his wife, defends nine-year-old hyperactive kids, and becomes embarrassed when his daughter says, "I heard you." Yes, he is now at an age where the children go to bed later than the parents.
