This little book uses the acronym PLAN -- Play, Listen for Emotion, Appreciate Daily, and Nurture a Rhythm -- to encourage you to keep the gap between instances of joy in your marriage short. I imagine that if both you and your spouse were willing to do the exercises that sort of thing would actually happen. I think most men (and left-brained women) would have to be very desperate to do most of the exercises, though. Lots of them seem cheesy and forced to me. The excessive "reminisce" will probably not work well for couples who don't have plenty of good years on which to think. If you are looking for a quick reminder of things that make couples feel joy together, this could be the book for you.
