Publisher's Synopsis
Women can't fix marriage. Only men can.
Women make marriage work? Women start homes and families? Women raise self-responsible kids who grow up to be good parents?
That's wrong, all of it. In consequence, so is everything else.
Only men can fix their marriages and make their families work, because marriage and family are the man's relationships from the outset. He initiates contact with her, he forges and fires their romance, he pops the question, weds her, beds her and pumps her full of his babies. He drives his family - sometimes right across the horizon.
And then he goes to sleep, in many families, or so it would seem. He's moody, silent and passive. Or he's rancorous and sarcastic. Or he's simply absent. What he is not is the man-in-charge.
This is The Runaway Minivan. Dad's in the driver's seat, but he won't drive his family. Mom is gamely trying to pick up the slack, but she can't do her job and his, too - and she can't lead him or her sons in any case. If Dad doesn't take back the wheel, his family is going to crash. Father's Day is about what happens when he does.
"Father's Day will turn a lot of heads - and turn a lot of minds on." -Anthony Johnson, The21Convention.com
"Whether you're male or female, straight or gay, young or old, in any kind of relationship or even if you never had any, if you're just human, you have to read this book. You'll thank yourself for it later on." -Ayoub Kallel
A note from the author:
I would love to excite your interest and incite your action: I want to save a few dozen-million marriages, and I need your help.
Father's Day will save marriages - it already is - and in consequence many children now growing up will themselves be better spouses and parents.
The printed book is $10, because no dad wants to think he wouldn't spend ten bucks on his wife and kids. The Kindle edition is 99[, because his wife may not be quite sure the guy is worth a whole dollar just now.
I want for you to read this book, but more than that I want for you to promote this conversation. I need book reviews, blog posts, social media shares, book- and father's group discussions, etc. More than anything, I need for you to pass this book along to every dad you know.
Everyone who has read Father's Day has seen him- or herself in it. This really is the magic bullet for marriage and family: If dad wants his family to work, it almost certainly will. If he doesn't, it almost certainly won't.
I'm talking right at that guy, the ambivalent young father. If I'm right about him, everyone around him will see the changes in him right away, increasingly and enduringly, after reading this book.
Now THAT's a Father's Day gift!
This is a good conversation starter for your marriage, but what it is, ultimately, is a re-org. First dad takes back his family, then, in due course, the middle class takes back the world.
How's that for ambition?
