Couples today are not wanting to opt out of their relationships simply because of irreconcilable differences the way they were twenty five years ago. Instead they seem determined to hold onto the wonder-ful part of the relationship and find a way to work through the differences. The stumbling block is that couples, more than ever, deeply desire a relationship that is characterized by equality and reciprocity and not so much by traditional roles, traditional expectations, or traditional norms. Unfortunately, there are no models for such a relationship. "From The Frying Pan To The Jacuzzi" invites couples to reach and stretch beyond the ordinary to the "gourmet." The book invites couples to "savor" twenty recipes, none of which are necessarily easy, but all simple, juicy, and doable The book is informative, insightful, and fun. The reader will laugh and cry.
