Following a brief discussion of relationship currency comes a commentary about "the hole" (i.e., being in the doghouse or sleeping on the sofa). Any man who has ever spent time in "the hole" will definitely be interested in checking out the section: Flowers as Bail - Hit or Myth? along with other methods for gaining points to dig yourself out of "the hole".

Next, discover the basics of the point system including earning considerate points, bought points and points of endearment. Finally, in the advanced chapters there is detailed information on redeeming your points so you don't go doing something stupid because you mistakenly believe you have earned copious amounts of points.

If they are willing to overlook some blatant but true stereotyping of males and females, partners will find the secret to getting what they want from each other. Again, though stereotypical, I was impressed by Glebe's insight into the partial list of women's needs (over 30 items) and complete list of men's needs (4 items). The biggest obstacle with the book is getting the guys to read it. Fortunately for us ladies, Glebe has even included instructions for that, cleverly disguising them as sewing instructions.

Great for a laugh, but even better POINTS may actually improve a relationship or two along the way!
