I Love You - Now Hush Paperback – February 1, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
Your wife says she s fine after an argument. You (a) assume she s fine, (b) go back to watching the game, or (c) duck and cover.
If you don t know the answers to these questions, then this book is for you. Two of the South's funniest voices have come together to write this hilarious, heartfelt collection of essays about the nature of men and women. From keeping house to romance, from yard work to money, their fresh take on these common arguments will make you laugh out loud and maybe even instill a bit of insight when it comes to the opposite sex. Also covered are quite a few not-so-common squabbles, such as proper singing etiquette and hoarding mayonnaise jars.
Written by best-selling humorist Melinda Rainey Thompson (SWAG: Southern Women Aging Gracefully and The SWAG Life) and award-winning magazine editor Morgan Murphy (Southern Living, Forbes, and Vanity Fair), I Love You - Now Hush is a pithy, gleeful read that encourages couples to laugh at their differences.

They were a lot of fun on the show and that translates to the book, which is a lot of fun to read.
I hope they continue to work together on more great books! I'll certainly read them.
I Love You - Now Hush can be explained in one word fairly easily. Hilarious. I have never actually cried tears of laughter while reading a book...until this one. Some of these stories ring so true when I think of the people around me in Georgia that I could simply relate on a rather amusing level.
Let me be clear, I am not originally from the South. Some of the subjects in this book (saving aluminum foil?) really seemed foreign to me. Apparently, some things only happen in the South. Whether you are from the South, have ever been to the South or have only heard of the South in passing, this book is just plain funny.
All women will love it because Melinda Rainey Thompson is a self-professed mess. She is a SAHM and total soccer mom. She wrote an entire chapter about how date night is just not quite what it used to be, for goodness sake. That was one of those chapters that I simply nodded my head at when she described how you can just look at her and know she's a mama.
Even men can enjoy I Love You - Now Hush since Morgan Murphy is the quintessential Man's Man. He is a cigar-smoking, kudzu killing, only-when-appropriate cursing Southern Gentleman. I swear I work with five guys just like him.
