by Steve Doocy
First published 2006
Steve Doocy has survived twenty consecutive years of marriage, and he has the battle scars to prove it. The Fox & Friends co-host opens his handbook with a simple truth: men understand women about as well as cocker spaniels understand Weber grills. This isn't an advice book. It's a collection of real disasters that Doocy, his family, and his famous friends have already survived so you don't have to repeat them. Doocy covers everything from early marriage negotiations over thongs to pregnancy eating binges that rival Shaquille O'Neal. He tackles college send-offs involving suspicious funnels and retirement dates fueled by high-fiber appetizers and Viagra. Each story gets corrected by his real-life wife Kathy, who spent two decades picking up his socks in the garage and developed her own twisted sense of humor. The book includes a troubleshooting section featuring Doocy's failed experiment to prove their compatibility through online dating. Out of hundreds of thousands of potential matches, he didn't crack Kathy's top 532 local men.
