Ever since Eve asked Adam, “Do I look fat in this fig leaf?” it’s been apparent that men don’t know how to handle women.
In THE MR. & MRS. HAPPY HANDBOOK, Steve Doocy will attempt to give all men and women answers to the questions that arise in their relationships (to the question above, the answer, clearly is “No hablo ingles”). This will be a funny, provocative, and yet hopeful look at husbands and wives. Riffing on everything from the first date, first kiss, to last rites, Doocy talks about the crazy arcs that each relationship takes—from dating, proposing, wedding, honeymooning, being married, having kids, to making it work (so you don’t need a chapter on community property). Doocy has been married for twenty years, but he’s not declaring this a self-help book. It’s more of a Don’t Try This At Home book. Doocy’s an expert on what not to do, because he’s already done all the dumb stuff— and he’s learned from his mistakes. Plus, for anything he has not learned, and for additional WMD (women, men, dating) brilliance, Doocy has included bits and pieces from his celebrity interviews, which will make the reader feel simpatico with the rich and famous (i.e., “Henry Kissinger and I have something in common—we don’t know squat about chicks!).
Steve Doocy is an Emmy Award–winning broadcaster and the co-host of Fox & Friends on the Fox News Channel. He has earned reporting and writing awards from the Associated Press, Sigma Delta Chi, and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and has worked at NBC, CBS, and Fox. He and his wife, Kathy, live just outside New York City with their three children and high-maintenance dog. (And they really are happily married.)
