Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Married relationship gurus, the Blooms (Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married) share the secrets of 27 happily married couples. A high-profile lawyer husband and his political activist wife demonstrate how balancing family and careers requires teamwork, commitment, creativity, and surrendering of the ego. Two gay musicians, one with AIDS, have perfected the art of treating each other like adults rather than being each other's parents. Although it profiles fulfilling relationships worthy of respect and emulation, this volume's New Age bent, long-windedness, and lack of self-help format may preclude a wide audience. (Feb.)
