PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Gorga and her husband, Joe, have become fan favorites due to their unwavering devotion and passion for each other. In this unoriginal relationship guide, Gorga who prides herself on being "rooted in old school Italian values, while still being a thoroughly modern woman" shows readers how to have a marriage as successful as her own. She explains how to "dress to please your man" and yourself, and with the help of her makeup artist, she reveals the details of her beauty regimen. In order to keep one's marriage healthy, Gorga recommends a weekly date night ("Saturday nights are like church for marriage") and insists on maintaining open lines of communication and parenting "as a single unit." Gorga also shares events from her past that led her to meeting Joe, joining the cast of Real Housewives, and beginning her singing career; Joe weighs in as well on meeting Melissa, adjusting to life as a reality TV star, and the male sexual appetite. Gorga's tips are charming if very traditional and they seem to work for her and Joe but they're far from secrets. 8-page color photo insert.

Sweet & Honest
Read this book in two days. Very easy to read. Congrats to Melissa and Joe on being honest with who they are and what they are about. Gives a nice example of how young couples should treat one another to form a sturdy foundation for future happiness in a marriage.
Is it a joke?
Melissa has no business giving anyone advice on love, marriage, family, decorum, dancing, vocals, vocabulary, interior design, edibles, party planning, home making, fashion, child rearing, or friendship. She's fake, malicious, and pretentious. #BYEfelicia
Really?!?
Give me a break....didn't realize you achieve a happy marriage by texting while having "alone" time with you husband... So thanks but no thanks, I heard enough of your advice on tv and it sucked
