The story doesn't start with boy meets girl. The story starts in the middle of a marriage. Couple do fall out of love for various reasons and it takes a love story to bring them back together.
Sophie is not happy with Mark. He works late and never phones. All the responsibilities are placed on her shoulders and he's being a typical male. As in not closing toothpaste, not cleaning after self, that kind of thing. Small but everything adds up and Sophie can't take it anymore. Worse, she and her mother thinks he's sleeping with a co-worker.
Mark is desperate to save his marriage especially now that they have a baby son to worry about. When Sophie went to her mother's house, he quits his job and enrolls in Dr. Martha's School for Husbands.
Dr. Martha has her quirky ways in training good husbands. Tortures, awful lodgings, ghastly food but Mark has to bear it all to prove his love to Sophie. On the sides, there is Sophie's mother pushing her to date a millionaire and sabotages to make sure Mark fails his final exam: Marriage.
It's a very good read especially to those who are just beginning to be couple. In life, men will be men. Sometimes, these men still have that caveman thinking that women must take care of the home. But this is a book for men as well. It shows that there must be compromise in a relationship. Little things might blow out of proportions because of the lack of communication. Oh, and in a relationship, you have to be best friend with your in-laws.
A witty and hilarious novel!
