When I first heard about the book The Rules, I didn’t give it much thought. I just treated it as another dating book on the shelf—a book with good points but unrealistic expectations. It wasn’t until I had several visits with an elderly neighbor that I realized ”the rules” have been around forever, and many women used to follow them. I never told her about the book, but her stories were nearly identical to The Rules and The Rules for Marriage. The only difference is that she followed certain rules more strictly than the book. Her results? A 50-year marriage filled with happiness. Yes, the rules seem old-fashioned, but the truth is marriages are not made and nurtured like they used to be….when divorce rates were low….and chivalry was expected. So if you are looking for that type of marriage….The Rules are made for you!

Truthfully, I haven’t followed the rules exactly by the book. However, looking back at my most significant serious relationship(s), I realized that I’ve always used some very important elements of The Rules. As of now, I am separated (by choice), but I did follow The Rules on some level. I don’t regret my marriage, and my husband is a wonderful man. Following The Rules definitely helped me attract a respectful, caring and generous man whom I will always cherish.
