After twenty-five years of marriage, Merrilee Boyack shares her marriage secrets in this new talk on CD recorded in front of a live audience.

She helps women understand how men think and teaches practical communication skills and tools to help strengthen any marriage.
” For the record, I reviewed this recording first to `protect the guilty’ (namely me) and make sure that I could yank anything that even remotely hinted at my tortuous journey toward being a better husband and father. Surprisingly (probably due to her amnesia), I didn’t have to exercise eminent domain or late-night stealth editing. The honest truth is that Merrilee has a LOT of great ideas to share. If you think her books are funny, inspirational, educational, and motivational, you have no idea what it is like to actually live with her. She is the real deal.”–Steven Boyack, the author’s husbandRelease Date: July 2007, Deseret Book Company |
