3.0 out of 5 stars
Short and to the point but a little too simplistic, 31 May 2001
By A Customer
This book falls into the "magic rules for success" family of relationship enhancing books. No explanation of why things work or suggestions as to how to relate to them or build them into your life. Just a list of a hundred ideas for enhancing a marriage.This is a slim, small format book and even that disguises its size. Ninety percent of the pages contain typically only about a dozen words each. The key question has to be, how good are the one hundred tips in this book and how well can they be put to use? When faced with that question, this book does not perform particularly well. It will take you about an hour to read this book and, if you spent that time with a couple of chapters of one of the many John Gray Mars-Venus books, you would absorb more useful information. Perhaps this book would help someone who strongly prefers to get their information from lists but even then, you must be prepared to spend time working out what questions are posed by this list and then answering the questions. This book will not rescue a struggling relationship, it is perhaps of most use to those starting out in a new relationship as a checklist of things that you automatically do in the early days which you need to remember to keep on doing.

Right On!!!, 30 April 1999
By A Customer
I usually don't read intros, boy am I glad I did with this book! The author very definitely let's you know that he understands what makes a relationship last and stay fresh. From making a deep point, "If you don't want to talk about it, it's the first thing you should talk about," to lighter, but equally important points, "Date your partner even if you're 90," covers many aspects. I have happily been married l6 years, but I don't take the relationship for granted. A refresher, like this book, helps me to know that I'm still on track, and validates the things that we do that seem to be the glue. We gave this book (along with the author's other book, l00 Best Ways to Meet People) to some single friends, and said to read Stay Together first, then when you meet someone...you'll know what to do!!! The suggestions are so easy, yet so often forgotten or overlooked. Oh, the humor in the book is just great too. Don't forget to read the afterword...it's right on!

When I first saw the book when it was shipped to my house, I was a bit disappointed. Its a very tiny book, and is dinky looking. There is an opening and an ending that are extremely adorable. And the 100 Best Ways to stay together are quite simple, but keep you in line with what you should do to help things in your relationship. Personally, it has helped my relationship , and keeps me in check with what I have to put into it...and reminds me that this is not just a take-take-take game. You have to give...and that's the most important. but all in all,i think its an adorable book. Dont judge a book by its cover...this is a prime example.
