Purchase options and add-ons

The grass is ablaze, the lawnmower blade dangles from a tree, and your frustrated husband is hiding in the garage. You (a) tell him you re going shopping, (b) ask him if everything s okay, or (c) sneak back into the house and pretend you didn t see him reading the instructions.

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.

I laughed aloud. Witty, sweet, Never testy or rude, just a fun book. I think it would be a great book to give to someone who is in bed for awhile and needs something to read that isn't stressful or requiring thought...just enjoyment.

I really enjoyed this book. I saw the two authors on "Bookmark" which is an Alabama public TV show about ... wait for it ... books!
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.

As the other reviews indicate, the format of this book was a stroke of genius by Mrs. Thompson. I shook my head and laughed reading the male counterpoint to her wisdom. Read slowly -- a chapter a day, perhaps -- to enjoy this book longer.

Oh my!!!! So very true---recognized myself and others in this! Truly laughed till I cried!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2010
Honestly, I don't usually read anything but pure fiction. Mystery, suspense, thriller, cutsie love stories, vampire novels....you know the type. But, through the help of Business2Blogger, I was given the opportunity to review a new book that is actually a collection of essays written by two authors....One a southern gentleman....The other a Southern lady.

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.

I've read books by Jon Stewart, Steve Martin, George Carlin and the like, and sometimes those books have made me chuckle a bit. This book actually made me laugh out loud. HIghly recommended!

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2010
When my wife came home with her copy of I Love You - Now Hush I thought it was just another "chick book" and I braced myself of the expected several nights of me attempting sleep while she read with the lights on. To my surprise my early slumber was disturbed by giggles, then laughs, a few guffaws, and one or two elbows followed by unexplained outbursts of "Ha, I told you so!" Learning the book was written in a point/counterpoint style, and Mr. Morgan's love of cigars and brown liquor giving me cover for my "chick book" phobia, I felt compelled to discover for myself the origin of the "I told you so" remarks. I am glad I did. Ms. Thompson is delightful and Mr. Morgan explains life from the side of the Southern Gentlemen. These two were quickly added to my list of the all time most entertaining fantasy dinner party replacing Margaret Thatcher and Greg Maddux. Controlled burns, fine suits, nice families, choir practice and jell-o tell it like it is. Mr. & Mrs. Big Butt at the mall, grandmother's favorite hat and attending the dinner party in a nice dress with the tag still on made me laugh out loud. Southern Gentlemen, we now have a voice in Mr. Morgan and a heroine and advocate in Ms. Thompson.
